Why Do We Rescue Wild Giant Pandas?

Q: Why do we rescue wild giant pandas?
A: Carrying out rescue work for sick, hungry and injured giant pandas in the wild can greatly reduce the excess mortality of wild giant pandas. Through our rescue and recovery work, the rescued giant pandas in good physical condition are released back into the wild, which can effectively ensure the population of wild giant pandas. This important function has long been shouldered by China's giant panda nature reserves, forestry authorities at all levels, and giant panda breeding and breeding institutions. So far, nearly 300 giant pandas have been rescued, and giant pandas such as "Si Guniang", "Sheng Lin No. 1" and "Lu Xin" have been successfully released into the wild.
 
Q: How are wild giant pandas discovered after being injured or sick?
A: After being injured or sick, wild giant pandas often move to lower altitudes and are discovered by conservation personnel or villagers patrolling the mountains.
 
Q: How to deal with wild sick and hungry giant pandas after rescuing and curing them?
A: After rescue and cure, individual pandas who are capable of returning to the wild will be released into the wild; those who are unable to return to the wild will be kept in captivity.
