They are cuddly, they are cute, they are slow and lazy, and they are a symbol for animals on their way to extinction: the giant panda.
For some time in the 1970s, giant pandas being borrowed from China to Western zoos even became one of the first ways of contact between the People's Republic and the West, also called Panda Diplomacy. The Wolong Reserve was already set up in the late 1950s, but it was only in the 1990s that giant pandas were better protected against their main enemy, humans. Since then, numbers have slowly started to rise, although the exact number of wild pandas remains unknown. It was exciting to walk into Wolong Research Centre, as this is one of the places where ongoing research and efforts for preservation of the species is carried out.
