They do use AI with some success... I have actually done work on mapping Giant Panda Habitat in China, and the problem is that there is not much habitat left for them. Historically, pandas migrate up and down mountains as different bamboos are in season. They are severely restricted to extremely steep mountains now that have remained natural now only because they are so inaccessible. This is the problem with many endangered species. If there is no viable habitat to return to, we are just mating them for our amusement.
Pandas are big money in the US, zoos actually rent each Panda for around a million a year. And if they have a cub, the rent goes up. It is in the interest of the Chinese to keep Pandas reproducing so they can keep making money on them.
There are many huge environmental problems in China. Just check out the three gorges dam and use of illegal wild animal products such as tiger bones. I am just going on and on, but there is a lot going on that most are unaware of...
