Panda Conservation
The Chengdu Pambassador Program is looking for panda-lovers who are keen to support panda conservation by becoming the new Chengdu Pambassadors, or Panda Ambassadors. Last week, the Chengdu Panda Base launched PandaQuest, a competition starting on Facebook and continuing through to on-the-ground events around the world and in Chengdu to create awareness about panda conservation and the Chengdu Panda Base’s goal to return pandas to the wild. The three Chengdu Pambassadors will have the unique opportunity to tour the world over five to six months and visit to help spread the word about Panda Conservation efforts. The cities around the world that the #Pambassadors will be visiting all have Pandas that were born in the Chengdu captive breeding program with the aim of diversifying the gene pool and bringing Pandas back from the brink of extinction. There is still time to enter yourself as a 2012 #Pambassador Candidate and make it to the semi-Finals in Washington, DC October 15th – 17th! The most important steps are setting up your profile, creating your profile cover graphic, and then asking friends for recommendation and hugs. Once you have that set up you can work on your one minute candidate video.

I always felt sorry for the Red Panda because it gets called the “lesser panda”! I don’t think it’s really a panda at all, technically…anyways, I’ve never seen a Great Panda, but I’d love to 🙂
Whoops, “Giant Panda”, not “Great”.
I saw a Panda at animal kingdom at Disneyworld. The panda liked to chew on bamboo leaves!
Hi Y’all!
Thanks for hosting another great “Panda Hop”! Neat animals! So sad their numbers are waning.
Y’all come by now,

So cute!
I have never seen a panda. I would like to know if they are friendlier then a regular bear.
I saw a Panda years ago at the Washington zoo. I’d love to see them again.
A very important project.

Many years ago, I saw one at a zoo. They are really beautiful animals.
I have never seen one but would love to.I do not they are having issues breeding them here in the states.My 5 yr old son has been fascinated by pandas since he was a baby.
Adult Pandas eat 20 to 30 pounds of Bamboo a day!!!! 🙂 Yes I have seen one (unfortunately not in the wild) but at a zoo in California 🙂
Thanks for telling us all about the Chengdu Pambassador Program, and for hosting this blog hop. I think I might just hop on board and maybe even try to win myself a stuffed toy to shred, um, I mean play with too.
Oh, and I’m sure my peoples could use the tote to lug my things in.

I have never seen a Panda in real life, however I understand they are not as cute and cuddly as they appear…well they are cute. 🙂 Thank you.
A great project!
I have never had the honor to see on in person at the zoo, but they seem to be very loving!
I have seen pandas at the zoo before.
The panda is native to China and is recognized by the black patches around its eyes.
They are so cute like big teddy bears, I saw one years ago in a zoo, but its been so long…I would love to see one in it’s natural habitat.
I saw a panda at the National Zoo.
I love Pandas and have seen them at the Washington Zoo
A female is only fertile once a year. Her fertility time only last between 1-2 days.
Never seen one in person but I think they are so cute.
I know they are really tiny when they are born. I did see a couple at the National Zoo in DC a couple of years ago. They were amazing!
i’ve only seen them at the zoo but they’re adorable 🙂
i have never seen one except on tv
I got to see a Giant Panda at the National Zoo about 12 years ago.
My youngest Emily thinks she is a panda!
I have never seen a panda. Are the people friendly?
I have never seen a panda, we keep saying we will go to a zoo that has one soon. I know they have a hard time conceiving in captivity
I don’t really know anything about pandas except that there aren’t many left and it’s hard to breed them. I’ve only seen them on TV.
i have only seen them at the oo and i only know that they eat bamboo :/
I know that they are rare and have a difficult time breeding I’ve never seen a panda in person but I would love to 🙂
eat bamboo
Yes, I have seen them at the National Zoo in DC and the Atlanta zoo. They are so fun to watch. A new baby just died at the Columbus zoo and there was an article about whether we were spending too much money on panda breeding programs that frequently fail – I say no, keep trying!
I wonder if the breeding program would be more successful if they were not kept in regular zoos, but rather in a secluded and private area? That way there would be no distractions.
I have seen them in person,beautiful creatures!Always wanted to know everything about them!
