Applying bases for 'double control' artificial breeding of giant panda in captivity

摘要

THE giant panda is a kind of endangered rare animal, the number of which is less than one thousand at present, specially distributed in China. According to the protective scheme issued by The International Association of Nature Protection, stock population in captivity must be established in order to make artificial breeding when an animal species has decreased to less than 1 000 individuals. It is an unshrinkable duty for Chinese researchers to make studies on the reproduction and breeding of giantpanda in captivity.
