Letter from the Director
My first trip to a panda center was in 1999, when I was fortunate
enough to visit the magical land of the Wolong Panda Center, high in
the Qionglai Mountains. The trip was so inspirational it encouraged
me to adopt my first panda, “Harvey”, who we named after my father.
The trip also resulted in the nonprofit Pandas International, which I
am still privileged to serve as the volunteer Director.
In the last 14 years, with your donations, Pandas International has
been able to provide a wide variety of support to the Pandas. There
was lots of exciting panda news in 2014, so we wanted to use this
opportunity to review some of the Highlights.
I hope you enjoy the 2014 in review, which details events and Pandas
International’s activities that your generosity made possible. Our
work to make sure every panda has everything it needs depends on
the contributions and participation of caring people like you. Your
support is needed now more than ever. Please join me and help to
continue our work to save all the Giant Pandas.

Birth of the World’s Only Known Surviving Giant Panda Triplets
The cubs were born within four hours of each other on July 29 at the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, capital of south
China’s Guangdong Province.
Professor Zhang Hemin, director of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda told us that this is the
first known set of triplets to survive. They celebrated their 100 Day Birthday on November 5th 2014.
The mother Ju Xiao was not able to feed them all, so they were swapped out each week, so each can bond with mom
and get the benefits of mother’s milk and mother’s nurturing care, a procedure developed by CCRCGP’s very own Dr. Li
Desheng. CCRCGP sent the Head Nursery Keeper Mr. Wei Ming to help care for the triplets, from the Bifengxia Panda Base.
“The first-born appears to be a very gentle girl,” said Wei Ming, an expert in charge of the newborn panda’s feeding and
management. The other two are boys, both of them have grey hair between their eyes, but one is larger. “The elder brother
is a naughty and energetic boy with a slim figure, while the younger brother is a quite big boy,” Wei added.
The cubs in the Nursery get a special panda formula which Wei Ming brought from the Bifengxia Panda Base, and was
provided by Pandas International. Their daily intakes are strictly measured and carefully monitored.
Wei is one of the country’s top baby panda caretakers. In his 13-year career with the Conservation and Research Center for
Giant Pandas, he has nursed more than 100 newborns, including Yuan Zai, the first Taiwan-born panda.
The triplets will most likely stay at Guang Zhou but because the mother is from CCRCGP the cubs belongs to CCRCGP and
are in the list of their newborns.

of butter - and weighing approximately 100 grams (4oz).
Mark your calendars
Pandas International will host its annual Chinese New Year’s Dinner on
Saturday, February 28, 2015. This year, the Year of the Sheep, will mark our
15th year of fighting to preserve the endangered Giant Panda. Proceeds from
the dinner will allow us to help fund the reintroduction program of the China
Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. CCRCGP has had 3
successful Pandas released into the wild and we hope for many more. These
pandas are crucial to helping the wild population from going extinct.
The evening will feature a wonderful dinner, Silent Auction, Wine Garden,
cash bar and the traditional Lion Dance. Pandas International Advisory Board
member, Dr. David Kersey, who spent several weeks in China last October
will give a recap of his staff training in the new CDC Laboratory.
The dinner will be held at Min J, conveniently located at 6585 Greenwood
Plaza Blvd, Greenwood Village, CO and will feature authentic Chinese cuisine.

Ellen Keely
Ellen Keely is what you might call a Super Adopter. She
is from Montrose, Colorado and has loved pandas from
time spent at the San Diego Zoo with Hua Mei. Back in
2000, she received a calendar of pandas which listed PI
on the back cover. She used a “phone book” to find our
number and called and had a long chat with Suzanne
about pandas. Since then both Andrea and Suzanne
have had the wonderful pleasure of visiting Ellen in her
beautiful hometown of Montrose which is about 4.5
hours from the Panda office!
Ellen learned she could adopt Hua Mei after she returned
home to China in 2004. So Ellen adopted Hua Mei, and
then her cubs, and then her cub’s, cubs, and any other
pandas which have returned to China from the San
Diego Zoo. Thus her love for pandas and adopting them
flourished.
In 2014, Ellen adopted a record 21 pandas! So a huge
thank you to Ellen from Pandas International and all her
adopted “babies”!
Ellen’s adopted pandas are: Hao Hao, Hua Ao, Hua Long,
Hua Mei, Hua Rong, Jia Jia, Mei Ling, Mei Sheng, Shen Bin,
Shen Bin’s 2014 cub, Su Lin, Su Lin’s 2014 cub, Ting Ting,
Tuan Tuan, Wei Wei, Yuan Yuan, Yuan Zai, Yun Hui, Yun Zi,
Zhen Zhen, and Zhen Zhen’s 2014 cub
William & Karom Burke
William and Karom Burke are avid adopters through
Pandas International. They have adopted two pandasLin Ping and Bai Xue. Love of Pandas
Last, but not least, thank you, Pandas International for
being a gateway to the inside world of pandas. You have
been marvelous!
July 2005 - Actually, we came to know about pandas
quite accidentally. One day we were watching CNN and a
reporter named Jeanne Moos was walking on the streets
of NYC, carrying a stick of butter. We were wondering,
“What’s going on?”
William and Karom Burke
She stopped people and asked them, “Do you know
that a baby panda was born at the Washington National
Zoo and it’s the size of this stick of butter!” She went
around asking several people and it was an enjoyable,
heartwarming and most enlightening show. Little did
we know that Tai Shan would start a new chapter of our
lives. To tell you the truth, in our case, the rest is history
because at the end of her program she left a panda cam
link and we clicked on it and we have been in love with
pandas ever since. Needless to say, not a day goes by
that we do not look at panda cams, talk or read about
this puzzling creature.
We have traveled and volunteered to places that allow
us to spend time with the pandas. We spent 5 days at
Chiang Mai Zoo as volunteers to work with the pandas
as well as Bifengxia and Chengdu Panda Base. When
opportunity comes, we plan our trips around pandas in
captivity at various zoos around the world.

Honolulu, HI
A very special adoption in memory of Director’s
Mother
Sometimes the best adoption is in memory of a loved one, the
adoption helps remember them in a positive way. When Director
Suzanne Braden’s mother visited the panda center in 2003, she
loved all the pandas. Suzanne was honored with a very special
honor in 2012, when a cub of Zhang Ka’s was named Su Shan after
Suzanne.
Suzanne thought it was appropriate to adopt Zhang Ka, Su
Shan’s mother, in memory of her Mother- Evelyn Waldman who
passed away in August of this year. Evelyn remembered Pandas
International in her will with a generous donation.
Have you considered including Pandas International in your estate
planning?
Village School Adoption by Panda Protectors
Village School, an independent K–6 school in Pacific Palisades, CA,
began adopting with PI in 2007. The kindergarten social studies
curriculum, called Passport to Adventure, explores nine countries on
three continents. The exploration includes both learning about the
culture and doing a community service project for each continent.
The young students were passionate about helping animals, and
since the panda is such a symbol of China, they chose to help PI. To
raise money, the students decided to hold a school-wide bake sale.
In 2007, the bake sale raised over $500 to be able to adopt Tong Tong whom they nicknamed Village. The Panda Bake Sale, as
it is known around campus, has now become an annual school-wide tradition with profits exceeding $1100 last February.
Tong Tong has become a celebrity on campus. Students look forward not only to the Bake Sale each year, but also to the
updates that Pandas International sends us each trimester. In 2012, Shea Morris, the teacher in charge, was able to participate
in the Hug Your Baby event. Going to the Panda Reserve to meet and interact with the staff who take care of Tong Tong has
deeply enriched their kindergarten curriculum and provides them with a stronger connection to Pandas International.
Panda Protectors Kids who make a difference!
Pandas International encourages young people to think about
conservation and philanthropy at all ages. Our exciting kids program,
Pennies 4 Pandas hopes to teach children the rewards of sharing and
working together to help ensure the survival of the giant panda. Getting
children interested in giving seems to foster an interest in helping
that continues throughout a lifetime. Including children in parent’s
charitable interests highlights parental values, informs ideas about social
responsibility and explains why it’s important to help others.
In 2014, over 50 kids and several schools did projects to raise donations to
Save the Pandas. This year alone, Panda Protectors raised over $ 12,000 to
help the pandas!
Tell your school or ask your child if they want to become a panda protector.

Qiang Qiang and I
Written by Qiang Zhou, CCRCGP
Translated by Pat Weiyi Zhang
For 8 years I have been working to protect
the Giant Panda. Time has flown so quickly
and so much has happened during that
time between the pandas and myself.
The particular panda that I think of most,
however, is Qiang Qiang, whose legs were
both fractured when I met him – but first,
some history.
A Fantastic Journey
When I was 10, my parents took me to see
the pandas in the Wolong Natural Reserve.
It was my first time being so close to
nature: ranges of lofty mountains, rugged
and steep mountain roads, torrential but
clear river water, dense and well grown
forests, occasionally we were met with a
cool breeze and, finally, the pandas that
my heart had been longing to see. Their
lovely image left a deep impression in
my mind, though at that time I did not
know these cute bears would become
such a huge part of my life.
Fate is such a wonderful thing. In 2000,
when most high school graduates chose
to enter prestigious universities and
pursue “hot” majors, I applied for the
major of Animal Science, which was
the least popular, despite my family’s
objections. Four years later, I graduated
and went to work at CCRCGP at Wolong
to support the cause of protecting the
Giant Panda.
Happiness behind hardship
Day to day care of pandas is dull work
and heavy labor. Maybe to an outsider’s
eye caring for pandas is wrapped in
a veil of mystery and excitement. The
job seems admirable, simple in nature,
with no complex office politics or
interpersonal communications, easy
and light, and you can be with the lovely
pandas from morning to night. However,
when you are really doing it, you taste
the hardship and dullness of the job
behind people’s admiration. Despite
this, watching pandas growing up to be
healthy and strong has given me great
joy. When I see them happily eating
tasty food, playing as they do a lazy roll,
I feel that everything I do is meaningful.
Gradually, I’ve come to see the pandas as
my own children.
Beyond the limits of belief and desire
Meeting with a broken heart
At that moment, Mr. Zhang, Director of
the center, wiped his tears and spoke
emotionally to encourage everyone. He
said: “Now that he has come here, this
will be his home! We will make every
effort and will never give up. We will
help him survive and live happily! I have
confidence in our team. Even if there
is only 1% of hope, we will make 100%
effort to save Qiang Qiang!” Everyone
was moved and said firmly: “We will do
it. We will help him live well”.
On Aug. 1, 2005, a severely injured
panda was found in Ping Wu County.
Both of his hind legs severely fractured.
CCRCGP sent vets out to rescue the
panda immediately after it was noticed.
Since the injury was so severe, it was
impossible to save the panda’s legs.
Reluctantly, amputation had to be done
immediately. On Aug. 3 at 9pm, the
panda was transferred to our center. All
staff members were shocked at the sight
of him. From examining his teeth, his
age was estimated at about 20 years old.
By visual observation, his weight was
about 60kgs, which was 40-60kgs lighter
than a normal panda. In other words, his
weight was only a little more than half
of that of a captive panda. His two hind
legs were amputated at the knees and
he could not walk.
His spirit was shattered, his fur was dark
with no shine, he was very bony. The
mood in the room was frozen. Everyone’s
heart was aching and we could not
hold back the tears. For over 20 years,
since the center was established, no one
(including many experienced keepers)
had ever seen or even heard of a panda
with two fractured legs, so thin and so
small, who had survived in the wild. At
that moment, although no one wanted
to believe it, we had to face a grim fact:
this panda would likely pass away soon
because of his weakness.
9
Although he was very weak and near
death, there was still some spark
from his eyes. He showed strength,
persistence, a desire for living and not
giving up. For the first time, I felt a
deeper respect for life and renewed tie
to the giant panda.
On that very day, the panda got its
own name: Qiang Qiang. It did not
only represent his persistence, it also
represented everyone’s best wishes and
confidence that we would help him
survive.
To read the rest of Qiang Qiang’s story,
please visit our blog on our website. If
you do not have a computer, please let
us know and we will mail you a copy of
the entire story.
Reintroduction Project
On October 14, 2014, the panda Xue Xue was released into the wild into
the Liziping Nature Reserve at Shimian, Ya’an in Sichuan Province, in
the Xiaoxiangling Mountains. Liziping Nature Reserve was chosen by
experts in the reintroduction field. Doctors Li, Wang and Deng all went
to Hetaoping to give Xue Xue one final wellness check before she was
released.
The two-year-old female giant panda at first appeared very nervous and
reluctant to step out of the container cage, barking and even returning to
the cage after researchers had released her. Eventually, she took her first
steps into the wild.
Researchers said the two-day trip to the release point, and an unfamiliar
environment had made the panda uneasy.
Caretakers wear special panda suits while taking care of Xue Xue so
she will not become acclimated to humans, but to make her wary of
humans, they stopped wearing the suits while giving her injections,
transporting her long distances or other unpleasant activities.
(New panda suits for the staff will be needed for 2015)
Researchers hope that releasing giant pandas raised in captivity will help
boost their population in the wild. Only the giant pandas considered fit or
those that “pass” all the testing parameters are allowed to be reintroduced
to the wild. To monitor her progress and movements, “Xue Xue” was
equipped with a GPS tracking collar, which was provided by Pandas
International’s supporters.
The initiative of sending captive-bred giant pandas into the wild began in
2006. The first to be released was a five-year-old male giant panda Xiang
Xiang. Unfortunately, he died the year following his release, due to fighting
with other males during the mating season.
Tao Tao was released on October 11, 2012 and Zhang Xiang was released
on November
10 6th, 2013. Huang Yan head of the reintroduction program
reports to PI that Tao Tao and Zhang Xiang are doing very well. They have
gone far away from the spot where they were released. Field researchers
are still getting GPS data from the radio collars you provided for them.
Xue Xue was the fourth panda released by CCRCGP and an additional
release is planned for later this year.
“Between 1970 and 2010 populations of mammals, birds, reptiles,
amphibians, and fish around the globe dropped 52 percent,” says the
2014 Living Planet Report - This is why Pandas International supports
the reintroduction program to increase the wild panda population.

A Sickness called “Panda Love” by Bill McShea at TEDxFoggyBottom
Dr. Bill McShea doesn’t love pandas as much as we do! In his talk the panda is an “average bear,” but he hilariously
explains why, and how our affection is actually a good thing for our world.
Dr. McShea talks about how the panda is an ordinary bear, but conservations efforts to save the panda have vastly
expanded Panda Reserves and many other animals live in these reserves. By providing Panda Reserves many other
animals are saved by extension. McShea stated his favorite is the Takin, who would not exist if it was not for the Panda
Reserves. He talks about the Asiatic Bear being hated and hunted by local farmers for stealing corn and honey, who
are safe in the Panda Reserves.
In his conclusion he says, “So your love of Pandas has created a place for these animals to live, so don’t worry- you are
sick but it is a good sick. What you are doing is your love for the panda is saving wildlife beyond this ordinary bear and
for that I say Thank You.”
Dr. Bill McShea is a wildlife ecologist for the Smithsonian’s Conservation Biology Institute at Front Royal, Virginia. He
has worked at the Front Royal facility since 1986.
Watch his hilarious talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmIiQvj_XPI
Here at Pandas International we don’t think our pandas are either average or ordinary but we are happy our efforts are
helping save other endangered animals as well.
Dr. David Kersey Joins the PI Advisory Board
and Travels to China to Train Staff
David Kersey, Ph.D., began his career in wildlife conservation in 2000 working as an endocrine technician at
the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI).
In 2008 he earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Science
from George Mason University.
For his dissertation, he conducted research at SCBI in
collaboration with Chinese colleagues to study the
reproductive and adrenal biology of the male and
female giant panda. During this time, Dr. Kersey refined
previous ideas of reproductive physiology and worked
towards improving breeding and management of
the species in captivity. Among his many accomplishments is a refinement of when natural breeding and/or
artificial insemination should be done based on urinary
hormone levels.
Dr. Kersey and Ms. Morgan Maly from the Smithsonian
Institute traveled to China to assist the researchers at
the new Dujiangyan Center in setting up the lab and
training staff in proper lab protocols. You can read
about his visit in his journals which will be featured on
the Pandas International Blog in the coming months.
