四、阅读理解
In June 2024, the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA, 中国野生动物保护协会) sent giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo has made efforts to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills of panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research (研究).
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and dealt with many difficult problems, including important findings in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda protection with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as illness prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has got good results. Giant pandas will facilitate exchanges between countries and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) is also very important in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.
