The most likely outcome for the panda species, if all bamboo forests were destroyed, is:
It will become extinct, since it cannot adapt to the changes fast enough.
Pandas have a highly specialized diet that relies almost entirely on bamboo, and their slow reproductive rate means they would struggle to adapt quickly enough to a drastic change in their environment.
