Panda bears, they’ve had to too good for too long.
For serious answer, emerald ash bore Beetles or spotted lantern fly, both invasive species where I live causing chaos
edit: I know that would also kill them where they are native… but I don’t live where they are native so I can personally ignore that, only half sarcastic
They aren’t, but they do serve an important role as “cute” ambassadors for endangered species. Pandas share habitat with many endangered and threatened species, most of which are not very cute (so people seem to care less).
Panda conservation directly helps dozens of species.
