A Symbolic Partnership
The pandas are part of a significant 10-year lease agreement, where the zoo pays $1 million annually to the China Wildlife and Conservation Association.
Awaiting the Arrival
While eager visitors anticipate meeting the pandas, they will first undergo quarantine and adjust to their refurbished panda compound.
Global Collaboration
The collaboration between China and the U.S. in preserving pandas is crucial for scientific progress and international unity, with the new pandas playing a pivotal role in fostering this bond.
