BEAR NECESSITIES of LIFE

The China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center is located in Baoxing county of Sichuan province, with the main responsibility of conducting research on the wild ecology and population dynamics of giant pandas. It is responsible for artificial breeding, genetics, disease prevention and control, as well as the training and release of captive giant pandas, assisting in domestic and international cooperation and the exchange of giant pandas. Giant pandas are a success story in global wildlife conservation, reflecting the effectiveness of ecological and biodiversity protection in China. In order to support the construction of the Giant Panda National Park and strengthen the protection of wild animals and plants, the Giant Panda Center has established the Laboratory for the Conservation Biology of Rare Animals in the park. Research there focuses on the rescue and disease prevention and control of wild giant pandas. It has laid a solid foundation for the development of giant panda conservation and made important contributions to the construction of a beautiful China, biodiversity conservation, a pilot national park system and international cultural exchanges.
