Q: Why do we rescue wild pandas?
A: Carrying out rescue work for sick, hungry and injured pandas in the wild can greatly reduce the excess mortality of wild pandas. Through our rescue and recovery work, the rescued pandas in good physical condition are released back into the wild, which can effectively ensure the population of wild pandas. This important function has long been shouldered by China's giant panda nature reserves, forestry authorities at all levels, and giant panda breeding institutions. So far, nearly 300 giant pandas have been rescued, and pandas such as "Si Guniang", "Sheng Lin No. 1" and "Lu Xin" have been successfully released into the wild.
Q: How are wild pandas discovered after being injured or sick?
A: After being injured or sick, wild 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 pandas after rescuing and curing them?
A: After rescue and cure, 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.
