Will the Earthquake in China Affect the Arrival of Giant Pandas?
The Wolong Breeding Centre was unfortunately near the epicentre of the earthquake that struck in May 2008. The Centre was left devastated and several members of staff lost their lives. The Centre will be rebuilt in an area less prone to earthquakes.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland was the first zoological society in the world to respond to the relief efforts. We sent £10,000 and satellite communication equipment. We will continue to help in any way we can.
It is not yet known how this will affect the final decision or the timing of giant pandas coming to Scotland.
