NOTES FROM THE FIELD | 2025 | No. 8
Conservation in Black and White Asia - Image of Panda
[link removed]
As dappled sunlight streams through expansive bamboo forests, giant
pandas Xin Bao and Yun Chuan awaken to explore their lush
surroundings. Xin Bao ambles up a hill to explore a stand of bamboo
while Yun Chuan deftly climbs up a tree, pausing to take in the
sky-high view. While the curious bears' many adventures at the
San Diego Zoo's Denny Sanford Panda Ridge are inspiring to
observe, it's what isn't visible that's most
interesting.

Not long ago, giant pandas' future was uncertain and extinction
appeared imminent. To help secure a future for the species, we began a
groundbreaking collaboration with our conservation partners in China.
Over 30 years, we've advanced conservation science, wildlife
health, and care, increasing populations and our understanding of what
pandas need to thrive in native habitats. While giant pandas'
status has positively changed from endangered to vulnerable, many
challenges still lie ahead.

On California Panda Day, August 8, we're marking the first
anniversary of Panda Ridge and a new chapter in our collaborative
conservation. Your support makes it possible to collaborate on this
vital work through our Asia Conservation Hub, inspiring others to join
us in saving, protecting, and caring for pandas and their bamboo
forest ecosystems.

BAMBOO FOR BEARS
Like all pandas, Xin Bao and Yun Chuan spend up to 12 hours a day
eating just one thing-bamboo. The San Diego Zoo and San Diego
Zoo Safari Park grow six acres of it to help ensure they thrive, and
our nutrition, horticulture, browse, and wildlife care teams work
together to provide each bear with about 100 pounds daily.

SAVING THREATENED OAKS
Mighty as they may seem, one third of all oak species are threatened
with extinction. While their acorns can't successfully be
preserved in seed banks, our Wildlife Biodiversity Bank's Frozen
Zoo®

has achieved a milestone-banking its first plant, the
endangered Nuttall's scrub oak, to safeguard the species'
genetic diversity. You're helping ensure the future for
threatened California oaks and wildlife worldwide.
