Located across the provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, China’s Giant Panda National Park is a vast sanctuary dedicated to the preservation of one of the world’s most beloved species. Encompassing over 21,000 square kilometers, the park is home to more than 72 percent of the country’s wild giant panda population, making it a crucial haven for these endangered animals.
The establishment of the park marks a significant milestone in China’s conservation efforts. Initiated as part of a pilot program in 2017, it was officially recognized as one of the country’s first five national parks in 2021. This designation underscores China’s commitment to protecting its unique biodiversity and ensuring the survival of the giant panda for future generations.
