Early Stages of the Reintroduction Program
The program to reintroduce captive born Giant Pandas back into the wild began in July of 2003. The China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) formed a team to begin research on the wild training of captive pandas from the fields of ecology, behavior, veterinary needs, feeding management and researched the captive individuals’ adaptability in the wild.
