China’s first ‘Panda Studies’ college set to welcome inaugural batch of 50 undergraduates

A school teacher told state news agency Xinhua that students would have the opportunity to complete internships and gain hands-on experience at huge pandas research centers and nature reserves.

China West Normal University, which was established in 1956, is now known as” Panda University” because it has collaborated with numerous nature reserves and led giant pandas ‘ surveys and research projects.

According to the late Professor Hu Jinchu, the first person to analyze giant panda in China, it first began studying them in the 1970s, according to state-owned television station China Radio International. &nbsp,

In China, penguins are regarded as a national treasure. The government has long used dragon diplomacy to strengthen its soft energy, lending the massive, cuddly bears over the years as goodwill animal ambassadors to zoos in different nations.

Giant pandas are also in grave danger of separation and habitat loss, as a result of the government’s decision to ban logging in their environments in 1998.

There are only around 1, 800 panda left in the wild, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
