Original title: The total number of giant pandas in captivity in the world reaches 673
According to the latest announcement by the National Forestry and Grass Administration, in 2021, my country will focus on improving the genetic diversity of the giant panda population, promoting gene exchange between captive populations, making the giant panda population healthier and growing steadily, and achieving high-quality development in the protection of giant panda breeding.
As of October 1, 2021, 32 panda cubs were bred in 48 panda cubs throughout the year, and 46 survived. The total number of giant pandas in captivity worldwide has reached 673.
Under the background that the global new crown epidemic has not been effectively controlled, Chinese giant panda scientific researchers have overcome various difficulties and established online communication platforms and arranged authoritative experts for remote video guidance, providing a strong foundation for the reproduction and breeding of giant pandas abroad. Technological guarantee, the 2021 giant panda international cooperative research project has achieved remarkable results in breeding and breeding. With the joint efforts of Chinese and foreign scientific researchers, the giant pandas living in Malaysia, Tokyo, France, Singapore, and Spain have successfully bred 8 giant panda cubs this year. , There are 69 giant pandas outside. International cooperation research on giant pandas has played an active role in advancing global biodiversity conservation, raising public awareness of protection, and promoting international cultural exchanges.
my country has always attached great importance to the protection of giant pandas. It has successively carried out four national special resource surveys of giant pandas to find out the status of giant panda populations and habitats, and provide a scientific basis for effective protection of giant pandas. In recent years, the giant panda nature reserve system has been continuously improved. Now 67 giant panda nature reserves have been established, with 1864 wild giant pandas. The pilot work of the giant panda national park system has achieved positive results. 1,340 wild giant panda populations have been planned to be included in the giant panda national park for protection, accounting for 71.89% of the total number of wild giant panda populations in the country. The rewilding training of artificially bred giant pandas and the rejuvenation of small wild populations continue to advance, and a total of 11 artificially bred giant pandas have been released to nature.
