A group of Americans, including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and representatives from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, Wednesday joined farewell ceremonies in China for two giant pandas coming to San Diego this summer.
This photo released by the San Diego Zoo shows giant panda Yun Chuan on Thursday, April 25, 2024, in the Sichuan province of China. A pair of giant pandas will soon make the journey from China to the U.S., where they will be cared for at the San Diego Zoo as part of an ongoing conservation partnership between the two nations, officials said Monday, April 29.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo," said San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance President and CEO Paul Baribault."This farewell celebrates their journey and underscores a collaboration between the United States and China on vital conservation efforts.
Xin Bao is a nearly 4-year-old female and is described as a"gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears," a zoo statement reads. Her name means a"new treasure of prosperity and abundance.
