Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding was founded in 1987. It has recently become a high profile tourist attraction and endangered species research and conservation facility, attracting visitors and scientists from around the world. Leaders of the Central Government, Provincial Government, and Municipal Government, as well as foreign parties, have contributed to building the 370'000 m² facility, which includes research buildings, laboratories, veterinary facilities, a nursery, a welcome center, a giant panda museum, and naturalistic enclosures for giant pandas, red pandas and black-necked cranes (Grus nigricollis). With an active research program and plans to expand to 2 km², the Research Base represents China's highest goals for environmental protection, conservation, and wildlife management. Its mission is the preservation of endangered indigenous Chinese wildlife through research, conservation, and education. The animals at the Research Base live in large naturalistic habitats, which help visitors understand how these animals live in the wild. Many types of bamboo, trees, and flowers thrive at the Research Base, creating a feeling of immersion into a natural landscape.
