         Rare White Panda Spotted in China’s Sichuan after 4 Years Visuals of a rare, all-white panda have surfaced from China’s Sichuan. The panda was spotted at the Wolong National Nature Reserve. The white panda is believed to be an albino. It could be the only one-of-its-kind in the world. The same white panda was first seen in the April of 2019 at the same site when it was around 2-3 years old. But this is the first time that clear frontal images have been captured.

Ami Vitale: Back to the Wild

Two-year-old giant panda Hua Yan (Pretty Girl) is one of the world’s most endangered animals. She was born in captivity at the Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, China, then released into the wild, where she was captured by Vitale, a National Geographic photographer and film-maker

Today is National Panda Day … and the giant panda is getting to know its wild side. Conservation efforts for the animals in China have become somewhat of a well-oiled machine, experts may be looking ahead at the next steps. It’s one thing to raise the animals in the safety of captivity, but what happens when it’s time for them to return to the wild?

Volunteering in a Chengdu Panda Base: All You Need to Know

The Giant Panda is the national animal of China and has a special place in the cultural heritage of the country. Records dating back to the Xizhou Dynasty, i.e. around 1027 BC-771 BC show that people in those days considered the panda as a special animal and as strong and formidable as the tiger. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that this endangered animal is one of the major attractions for anyone visiting China. If you are thinking of observing the giant pandas closely in their natural habitat, then you can do that by becoming a Chengdu Panda Volunteer.

Your Role as a Panda Volunteer in Chengdu  

The panda reserves of China often need the support of eager helping hands who can assist in taking care of these animals. In Chengdu, there are multiple panda bases, such as the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, Dujiangyan Panda Ark, and Bifengxia Panda Base. These bases create a perfect environment for the pandas to thrive. They also accept volunteers who are willing to work on the panda bases and interact directly with the pandas. As a volunteer, you are going to clean the panda enclosures, feed the animals, and learn about the habits and behavioral patterns of the captive pandas.

One of the main benefits of volunteering on these bases is that it allows you to have access to places and areas that are not open to other travelers. Apart from exploring the unique natural beauty of the region, you can also learn a lot about the lifestyle and habits of the giant pandas. This could be an eye-opening experience for you. At the end of your stint on the panda base, you are going to receive a volunteer certificate that is going to recognize all the efforts you have made as a panda volunteer.  

Some Attractions of the Panda Volunteering Experience

Take a look at the major attractions of serving as a panda volunteer in Chengdu.

While working as a Chengdu Panda Volunteer, you can have a closer look at the activities of the pandas and this will to help you learn more about them.

You can develop a greater level of empathy and understanding about the giant pandas and this is going to eventually enable you to love these animals even more.

While at the panda base, you can decide for how long you want to work on a day-to-day basis. You may choose to work for the full day or only half the day.

The great thing about the volunteer program is that it can help you explore areas that are otherwise not accessible to other travelers. Such an experience can be both thrilling and educational.  

The panda volunteer program also provides ample opportunities to explore the unique natural beauty of the region. This is yet another good reason for signing up as a volunteer in one of the panda bases in Chengdu.    

Conclusion

Interacting directly with the giant pandas could be a life-changing experience for you. If you are looking to learn everything about being a panda volunteer in China, you can get in touch with AbsolutePanda to obtain all relevant information about such trips.

Beneath that cuddly exterior... There’s just something comforting about giant pandas. They're stoic but look cuddly, and their unusual black and white markings make them distinctive. Pandas are one of the animals we recognize from an early age. But while we may take them for granted, they've been under threat from shrinking habitats and food supply as people harvest bamboo and build roads and train tracks through their forests.

There are currently about 1,800 giant pandas living in their native habitat of central China and another 600 or so in zoos. These figures represent a slight increase in population counts of the early 2000s, perhaps a result of dedicated conservation efforts. With the rise in numbers, the International Union for Conservation of Nature reclassified the giant panda in 2016 from 'endangered' to ‘vulnerable.’

This giant panda is scratching a tree to mark its territory in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in China's Sichuan province, which has implemented strict conservation measures to protect pandas. Soon, no doubt, this one will scout out some tasty bamboo shoots. Bamboo makes up 99 percent of a panda’s diet, and an adult bear must consume more than 30 pounds (some manage 80!) of the woody grass each day to meet its dietary needs. While that sounds like a hefty amount, giant pandas digest only 17 percent of that bamboo. Since eating occupies about 14 of its waking hours, the giant panda has a couple of physiological tools to help: The bone at the base of its paw works as a modified thumb so it can get a firm grip on the bamboo, and its molars are very broad and flat to crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems.

Panda Day This giant panda is scratching a tree to mark its territory in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in China's Sichuan province, which has strict conservation measures in place to protect pandas. While giant pandas have long been under threat as people harvest bamboo and build roads and railways through their forest habitats, it’s thought their population has increased slightly since the early 2000s. There are estimated to be about 1,800 giant pandas living in their native habitat of central China and another 600 or so in zoos. The apparent rise has seen them be reclassified from endangered species, to vulnerable, as of 2016.

Bamboo makes up 99% of a panda’s diet, and an adult must eat more than 30lb (14kg) a day to meet its dietary needs – some manage 80lb (36kg)! While that sounds like a lot, it is spread over 14 hours a day and they digest only about 17% of that bamboo.

A rare all-white giant panda has been photographed for the first time, according to a nature reserve in southwestern China. Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province released a photo this past weekend showing the panda crossing through a verdant forest in the reserve. 

The panda has red eyes and lacks the usual black fur on its limbs and ears and around its eyes. The albino panda is about 1 to 2 years old judging from its size, the reserve said in a statement. It appears to be physically strong and has a steady gait, showing that the albinism probably hasn’t affected its health. (Source)
