Life Experience of Panda Bao Li

International Exchange: In May 2024, significant news emerged from the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center regarding international collaboration to enhance panda conservation efforts. The China Wildlife Conservation Association and the Smithsonian National Zoo in the United States reached an agreement to foster panda research. As part of this partnership, Bao Li and a female panda named Qing Bao (青宝), born in September 2021, are set to travel to the United States later that year to participate in new conservation research projects.

Travel to America: On the evening of October 14, 2024, Bao Li and Qing Bao departed from the Dujiangyan Base of the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center, heading to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. The following day, they boarded a special flight to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where they would begin a ten-year journey dedicated to panda conservation and research.

Play in Snow: On January 11, 2025, Washington experienced a heavy snowfall, which was an exciting event for captive giant pandas. Early in the morning, when Bao Li saw the ground covered in a blanket of white snow, he was exceptionally thrilled. He played joyfully in the snow, rolling around, climbing trees, and scratching himself, having an absolutely wonderful time.

Official Debut: On 24th January, 2025, Qing Bao and Bao Li finally ended their quarantine and met the public. Their live-stream received 75,000 views in just one morning, and over 3,000 people came to visit on the day.
