According to permanent secretary Jatuporn Buruspat, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment ( MNRE ) will sign a Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU) regarding the bringing back two pandas from China in the new year.
Yesterday, Mr. Jatuporn shared an upgrade on the status of the Chinese government’s discussions involving the moving of giant panda from China to Chiang Mai Zoo.
The MNRE’s work, supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been making steady progress, he said.
He added the government plans to construct a new dwelling place for the penguins, larger than the previous 6, 250-square-metre air-conditioned wall. Chinese may receive design information.
By 2027, according to Mr. Jatuporn, the two panda will be arriving at Chiang Mai Zoo. ” We did an excellent job caring for Xuang Xuang and Lin Hui, which produced sons, Lin Bing. He added that the new penguins may act as goodwill ambassadors to mark Thailand’s 50th anniversary of Chinese-Chinese relationships.
In 2003, China agreed to payment two penguins, Xuang Xuang and Lin Hui, to Thailand’s Chiang Mai Zoo. In 2009, the couple produced a feminine kid named Lin Bing and attracted over 7 million visitors. Xuang Xuang passed away in 2019 at the age of 19, and Lin Hui died in 2023 at 21, both at Chiang Mai Zoo.
Their descendants, Lin Bing, was returned to Chengdu, China, in 2013. She is currently rumored to be the mummy of seven.
