April 19, 2017 - See a giant panda in China that has made a major breakthrough in the preservation of her species. Zhang Xiang, a captive-bred female giant panda, was released in the wild in 2013. She has been observed moving to a population in a neighboring region. This marks the first time a captive-bred panda has moved from one population to another. It’s hoped that she will mate with one of the wild pandas from the local population, a goal of China's release program. Since 2003, China has trained and released seven giant pandas into the wild, two have died.
