This is an excellent, must-read article from China’s leading newspaper, People’s Daily. Check it out!

via Homeless pandas – People’s Daily Online.

The article describes the massive effort in China to help the Giant Pandas.

Reading this article brought back  memories of the two wonderful days when my wife and I worked as volunteers with the Giant Pandas in Ya’an Sechuan, China. Working with these magnificent animals will be a life-long memory – it was a wonderful privilege.
