Visit to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant panda Breeding

This base, Daxiong-mao Fanzhi Jidi, is located in the northern suburb of Chengdu. It is dedicated to scientific Research and to conservation of endangered species - the giant panda as well as the red panda.This world - renowned ecological conservation base occupies an area on 100 hectares.

Created in 1987 with only six great pandas saved in their biotope, the Base has today more than 70 giant pandas. They were not removed in the wild. They proliferate on site, what show the commitment of the Base to participate to the conservation in situ .

The giant panda was declared "National Treasure" in 1949. In 1961, the WWF choose him as an emblem. It is on the IUCN red list. It is an endangered specie. Only 1600 giant pandas live in the wild and about 350 in captivity.

At the Base, there are nearly 400 kinds of trees, including ginkgo, chinars, magnolia and willows. There are also many species of bamboo that Giant Panda love to eat.

Other species are there on the Base as the red panda.

The Chengdu Base, The Wild Aid association and the Yao Ming foundation have organized the second edition of « Chengdu Pandassador ». My young friend Jérôme Pouille was one of the finalist with two young women , one Chinese and one American.

It was the chance to pass a half day in the Base, far away from our native country. Jérôme guided us in the Base giving us explanations.

Jérôme was escorted by a journalist of " 30 millions d’amis " , Christophe Barreyre, who was here to film Jérôme in his role of pandassador.

Our French group answered to his questions and I was interviewed about my meeting with Jerôme and our common passion for bears.
