It was in 1953, that China’s Chengdu Zoo started keeping panda cubs with them and during National holidays they used to display them. Since then there is no looking back as China government is make a sincere effort to save pandas who have been facing the tag of extinct species.

Pandas are always found in lonely places and around bamboo places but gradually their hubs were being destroyed and they start losing out their homes and eventually their number started to decline in China. Then the government thought of this plan to save the pandas.

In the zoo there is the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre which was opened in 1987 but it officially striated to operate in 1993. Its inauguration was done by a half dozen of pandas and now the number has reached to 100. The breeding centre has a sole aim and that is to save the giant panda and the red panda and in order to do that they have tried to recreate the same atmosphere of which they are habituated. More than 400 trees of different kind have been planted in the area of 100 hectare.

Except taking care of the panda, rearing is also done in which they allow mating either through a normal process or through artificial insemination.
