Yes. Pandas are dying out mainly because of one main reason: habitat loss. Their main source of food is bamboo, which takes a long time to grow. This problem wasn't present when pandas were spread throughout the massive south-east of Asia, including China. Hence, when a forest of bamboo was being consumed by them, they could simply move to another bamboo forest, but the supply grew harder to find or reach.

Industrialization needs people to clear off these ranges or lands for factories and agriculture. Hence, bamboo forests in Asia started a to decline tremendously. Wild pandas have been reported to die because of starvation simply because they cannot reach the next bamboo forest in time.

Pandas, too, are picky regarding their mate. But an even larger problem than the male panda's selectiveness is, females are only fertile in the reproductive cycle or mating period for about 5 days. It means that the chances of pandas mating succesfully are slim. What's more, there are a lot less pandas surviving in the world.

Pandas are endangered because they are getting hunted by people who are killing off these animals without knowing that they are endangered and have no concerns, or cares towards the balance and well-being of the eco-system.

Additional Info: The Panda is a specialized species and that creates a level of strain that is sensitive to any outside pressures and can quickly endanger the species continued survival. The panda's requirments are very restrictive, for example their diet; they really only eat bamboo, and in such quantities that it requires large bamboo forests, with dense undergrowth to support them. They can now only be found in south-china. The "specialists" of the animal kingdom are in a way "pre-disposed" toward endangerment, and need to be watched or monitored closely when they come into contact with humans.
