Panda Adoption

Adopt and name a Giant Panda

We now have 58 pandas living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. On average, each panda needs 50,000 RMB (approx. 5,000 Euro) per year for nutritional needs, veterinary care, environmental enrichment, and care. This year we have nine newborn giant pandas. With the addition of nine giant pandas we will need an extra sum of 450,000 RMB to provide for them. If you are interested in adopting a panda cub for its entire life (based on the average captive lifespan of 25 years) please contact us. With your adoption of one of our pandas you will help support the exceptional care that the Research Base provides for them.

The program includes the following:

Adoption Category	Adoption Requirements
Independent Adoption for 1 Year	Donation of $6,350 per year
Partial Adoption for 1 Year	Donation of $1,200 per year
Life-long Independent Adoption	Donation of every five years till the death of the panda
Partial Life-long Adoption	Donation of $15,000 once (the living expenses for 3 years)
