The impact of tourism
Scientific research into feeding, management and reproduction has enabled the centre to conserve its population of more than 260 giant pandas. Over the last three decades, research breakthroughs have been made possible through donations and government funding. Innovative research has addressed key technical problems in feeding, management, disease control and reproduction.
Ticket sales purchased by visitors help foster continued research into their protection, and during your time here you will learn more about the all‑important work carried out to increase their numbers.
