CHENGDU, June 28 (Xinhua) — Four giant pandas born in Japan arrived in Chengdu, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, on Saturday evening.
Upon arrival, the four bears – 24-year-old female Liangbang (Japanese name Raukhin) and her three daughters, 8-year-old Jiebang (Japanese name Yuyin), 6-year-old Caibang (Japanese name Saihin) and 4-year-old Fengbang (Japanese name Fuhin) – were quarantined at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
To ensure the pandas’ safe and unhindered return, the Japanese side organized special transportation, with Chinese experts traveling to Japan before departure to learn about their habits and living conditions. Both teams also accompanied the animals back to China.
At the Chengdu base, in turn, quarantine equipment, food and personnel were prepared so that the pandas could quickly adapt to the new environment and successfully endure the quarantine period.
In 1994, China launched a panda breeding cooperation program with Adventure World, an amusement park in the coastal city of Shirahama in Japan’s Wakayama Prefecture. During this time, the two countries’ joint efforts have produced 17 panda cubs and created the largest captive-bred population of giant pandas abroad, known as the “Ban family (Japanese name: Hin).”
Over the years, China and Japan have established a strong partnership and made significant achievements in the conservation and breeding of giant pandas, care of their cubs, treatment of diseases specific to this species, scientific and technical exchanges, and public education about the giant panda. –0–
