Worker Gives Sneak Peek Of New Pandas At San Diego Zoo

Ever wish you could see a giant panda in a zoo in the United States? For the first time in 21 years, this will soon be possible again! To see these adorable pandas, you’ll need to take a trip to the San Diego Zoo starting on August 8. This is when their two giant pandas, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, will be available to the public. That said, employees were already given a preview of the exhibit, and one of them is sharing it with us!

Erika Kohler, the San Diego Zoo senior vice president and executive director, writes that the Panda Ridge exhibit is an “expansive and multidimensional experience… inspired by famous geological formations in China, emulating the mountainous forest ecosystems where giant pandas thrive while immersing you into their world.”

At one point, giant pandas were considered Endangered. There were fewer than 1,000 of them both in the wild and captivity. But thanks to the efforts of places like the U.S. and China, we’re seeing great improvements. In fact, there are now more than 1,800 pandas, making them Vulnerable rather than Endangered.

“For 30 years, we’ve worked alongside our Chinese conservation partners to save, protect and care for giant pandas and their ecosystems,” Erika says . “And now we have the opportunity to continue caring for and conserving these incredible bears as we expand on our transformative work to secure a future for their species.”
