Breakthrough in Chinese panda protection
People's Daily quotes sources from the State Administration of Forestry saying the panda, named Shenglin One, has been released into the wild in the Dujiangyan area of Sichuan Province. Its daily movements are being observed by experts via GPS. The experiment is a breakthrough in China's panda protection work, following years of research. Pandas are a very rare species in the country and the world and Chinese scientists have focused on birth matching and boosting the survival rate of panda siblings. With six key forestation schemes successfully implemented in the past five years, China has bred 163 pandas, and is preparing for them to live in the wild. There are currently 55 natural preservation parks for pandas in China protecting nearly 1600 wild pandas. Covering 2.3 million hectares, the protected land contains than 53% of the panda population and spans over 70% of all wild panda groups.
