Dear Wildlife Ally,
Conservation is at the heart of everything we do. And by working
together, we can make the improbable a reality while experiencing
moments through conservation that change the world.
Over the past few months, we have been filled with anticipation as we
prepare to welcome the next generation of giant pandas to the San
Diego Zoo.
This past week, our wildlife care specialists, scientists, and
conservation leaders traveled to the Wolong and Bifengxia Panda Bases
in China, to collaborate with our Chinese partners and to meet Xin Bao
and

Yun Chuan, the two giant pandas we will care for at the San Diego Zoo.

Xin Bao is a nearly four-year-old female who was born at Wolong
Shenshuping Panda Base. Her name means "new treasure of
prosperity and abundance," and she is best recognized for her
sweet, round face and big ears.
Yun Chuan

Yun Chuan is a nearly five-year-old male who represents the hope
we've experienced as partners in panda conservation. He is the
grandson of Bai Yun and Gao Gao, two pandas we had the honor of caring
for at the Zoo for decades, and the son of Zhen Zhen, who in 2007 was
the fourth cub born at the Zoo. The first character of his name,
"Yun," is a nod to his grandmother Bai Yun, and the second
character, "Chuan," refers to the province of Sichuan,
where he's from.
Pandas have been a part of our conservation legacy for nearly 30
years. Throughout our storied partnership we have cared for
generations of giant pandas and contributed significantly to their
conservation across native habitats. Our community and the world fell
in love with giant pandas at the San Diego Zoo-and for decades
we've worked collaboratively as one conservation team with our
Chinese partners to serve this iconic species. In 2021, we celebrated
alongside our conservation partners when pandas were declassified from
endangered to vulnerable, knowing that when we come together, we can
experience transformative moments through conservation.
We can't wait to welcome Xin Bao and Yun Chuan to the San Diego
Zoo and are working with our U.S. and Chinese conservation partners
toward a prospective arrival this summer. In the meantime, we look
forward to keeping you, our closest allies, updated on any news along
the journey. With you by our side, we can continue to make a
difference for wildlife and support flourishing ecosystems worldwide.
Together for wildlife,
