Dr. Zhang Zhihe, director of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda breeding, talks about the role of his institution and the importance of pandas to China. Melissa Block's radio report on the pandas can be heard on All Things Considered.
Thankyou for this wonderful heartfelt video of the pandas, it is exactly what I needed to see right now. I have been following the tragic events in China and send my thoughts and prayers to all involved at this very tragic time. I will be checking this blog for updates on China's recovery as well as the Panda's

Thank you for bring us a glimpse into the simplicy and joy of the giant pandas and of the wisdom of Dr. Zhang Zhihe, in taking in the pure delight and peace one fees observing them. No, not observing them in containment, as in a zoo, but in a habitat which seeks to protect them and allow them to propagate - and thus be their authentically panda-selves -- to continue to amaze us with what can only be called their unspoken but perfectly clear koans on the imporant things of life.

I can't get enough of the baby cub, cute and playful. no other play mates ? Mom's over protection ? I want to go there too, and hopefully a chance to talk to Dr. Zhang Zhihe. For a brief moment my mind even wandered away from think about the earthquake.
Thank you again for all the wonderfull reports. Take care .
