In China, the breeding program is managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP). The CCRCGP has been working to breed pandas since the 1980s, and it has been very successful. In 2021, the CCRCGP had a population of over 200 giant pandas.
In the United States, the breeding program is managed by the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI). The NZCBI has been working to breed pandas since the 1970s, and it has been successful in producing over 50 cubs.
The breeding programs for pandas are important for the survival of the species. Pandas are endangered animals, and their population is declining. The breeding programs are helping to increase the panda population and to ensure that the species survives.
