Why is the UK considering sending pandas back to China?

As we all know, our national treasure giant panda has black and white coat color, but black is not pure black, black with brown, white is not white, white with yellow, even if the coat color is not pure, the giant panda still sprouts a group of kind and lovely humans. Therefore, the giant panda is used as a carrier of friendly exchanges between countries, and often lives temporarily as a "diplomatic ambassador", reflecting the willingness of the two countries to continue friendly cooperation.

Two cute little cuties, 8-year-old male giant panda "Sunshine" and female giant panda "Tian Tian", embarked on a journey to the United Kingdom in December 11, they will go to the Edinburgh Zoo in the United Kingdom, and live in ** for up to 10 years, perhaps delayed to 30 years. As the only two giant pandas in the UK, they are treated at the highest level by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

Since they started a new life in the UK, their itinerary has attracted much attention, and along the way, they have enjoyed VIP treatment. They carry the expectation of giving birth to giant panda babies in the UK, and they are also loved by British netizens. In that case, why are you considering sending the pandas back to China?

First, given the impact of the pandemic this year, the UK's finances have also been severely affected. David Field, manager of the Royal Scottish Zoological Society, said that the epidemic caused the zoo to be closed for three months, and the cumulative loss amounted to 2 million pounds (about 17.75 million yuan). Therefore, in this case, the institution will have to consider every money that can be saved, including the Giant Panda contract, which is leased at 1 million pounds (about 8.87 million yuan) per year.

Fewer visitors, which will also mean less revenue for zoos.

Second, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the diet of giant pandas has also been affected. International shipping is being thwarted, fresh bamboo will not be sent to the UK, and the pandas' basic livelihood may not be sustainable. In the case that there is no guarantee of panda food**, considering the health of the giant pandas, sending "Sunshine" and "Tiantian" back to China to continue living is the best way to protect them.

During their nine years in the UK, Sunshine and Tian Tian have left a deep impression on British tourists, helping migrant workers regain their confidence and happiness, helping millions of people get up close and personal with giant pandas, and inspiring countless people to be interested in wildlife conservation. But we believe that maybe when the epidemic is over, "Tiantian" and "Sunshine" will start a new journey.

Because I can't afford to raise giant pandas. The UK is not very suitable for giant pandas, and there is not enough food for them.

Because of the high cost of raising giant pandas abroad, it is difficult for British zoos to afford giant pandas, which has caused a great financial burden, so the giant pandas are sent back.

Because the giant pandas did not survive well in the UK, they were sent back to China.

Britain is considering sending giant pandas back to ChinaThe zoo said: During the epidemic, there was a lack of money and could not afford to raise it. Due to the financial pressures caused by the pandemic, Edinburgh Zoo may have to return the UK's only pair of giant pandas to China.

Giant pandas Tian Tian and Sunshine were loaned to Edinburgh Zoo in the UK on a 10-year contract in December 2011.

The head of the zoo said that the epidemic caused the zoo to be closed for three months, and the cumulative loss amounted to 2 million pounds (about 17.75 million yuan). The agency will have to "seriously consider every potential savings," including the Panda contract. "At this stage, it's too early to say what the outcome will be.

In the coming months, we will discuss the next steps with our Chinese colleagues. 'Sunshine' and 'Sweetness' have impressed our visitors for the past 9 years and I hope they will stay here for a few more years. ”

As a rare animal unique to China, pandas can play an active role in China's foreign exchanges, so in some foreign affairs activities, pandas have been given as gifts to friendly countries. In fact, in addition to deepening diplomacy, the reason why China rents out pandas is that it can bring huge wealth to China. At the same time, the pandas rented to foreign countries also represent the image of China and are the transmitters of Chinese culture.

The role of sending pandas to foreign countries:

1. A symbol of our nation.

The giant panda is also known as a "living fossil" because it has lived on the earth for at least 8 million years, and it is a unique animal species and ethnic symbol of China.

2. Messenger of peace diplomacy.

Giant pandas have a docile temperament and rarely engage in aggressive behavior, and giving pandas to other countries can show the sincerity of China's peaceful diplomacy.

3. Express gratitude.

International organizations have helped China in the past, so China has adopted the form of giving giant pandas to express sincere gratitude.

4. Species reproduction.

The total number of giant pandas in the world is less than 1,000, and since 1982, China has also changed from a gift of giant pandas to a long-term cooperative research relationship of the nature of renting and borrowing. <>

The reasons for returning to the country are as follows:1. China provides a better living environment and living conditions for giant pandas; Senhu.

2. ** Scientific and sensitive research and conservation education for giant pandas;

3. Giant pandas return to China because of breeding needs;

4. The giant panda returned to China out of a sense of cultural belonging.

There are several reasons why Panda Yaya's return to China has attracted attention:

1.The panda is one of China's national treasures, and Yaya is also one of the giant pandas of global concern.

3.Yaya spent 7 years in France, during which she became the "giant panda" in the eyes of the French people and a symbol of Sino-French friendship.

At present, Yaya has arrived safely in China and is going through the relevant quarantine and adaptation period. In the future, Yaya will continue to live in a nature reserve in China, join the queue of South China tiger rewilding, and contribute to the conservation of giant pandas.

In my opinion, the giant panda Yaya and Lele have become a beautiful landscape in China-US exchanges and cooperation, and they are also an unforgettable wealth in China-US relations. This pair of giant pandas living in the United States has made a great contribution to the peace, stability and friendship between the two countries. Against the backdrop of the current unpredictable international situation, China's ability to lend giant pandas to the United States not only represents China's friendship and support, but also enhances mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries.

The giant panda is a rare animal, so their mutual loan and joint conservation between the two countries demonstrates the shared goals and responsibilities of China and the United States in biodiversity and ecological conservation. The reason why Yaya has attracted much attention is that it represents the great importance of national culture and arthropod protection, and it also shows the status and attention of the giant panda in people's hearts. The giant panda is one of the most popular and rare wild animals in the world, and Yaya has attracted much attention since she was a child.

It has attracted attention in various aspects such as its growth history, personality, health and behavior.

Yaya's return is not only a return to Sino-US relations, but also represents a major focus and emphasis on the protection and inheritance of giant pandas. Previously, some netizens suspected that Yaya had been abused in the United States. Regarding Yaya's treatment in the Memphis Zoo in the United States, the relevant agencies have also conducted many public investigations and assessments.

According to the results of the investigation, Yaya was not abused and enjoyed the same treatment as other animals, but there were some problems with her physical condition.

Yaya's nutritional problems and poor coat color may be due to the influence of the dietary environment, climate and living environment in the United States, which is also a problem that giant pandas need to face. After Yaya returns to China, she also needs to be professionally fed and cared for in order to better adapt to the living environment in China.
