Donation for the Scientific Research Programs

    There are more than 30 scientific research programs in need of urgent starting fund in Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, including feeding, breeding, heredity, nutrition, behavior ecology, clinical practice etc of the endangered species such as giant pandas. These programs, aimed at conserving giant pandas and other endangered species, mean great significance to the increase of giant panda group enlargement, protection of the variety of heredity and the future returning to wild nature. There is now great pressure on feeding giant pandas and the fund on scientific researches is even tighter, so some of the research programs are hard to carry out. We are now trying to gain the support and sponsor from the national and provincial technical departments. At the same time, we sincerely expect friends from all lines of business can join us in the research. Donations will be allocated to the programs of priority. The list of the prior programs is as follows:
