A noble and worthy charity based in America. They provide lots of essential supplies to the pandas and their keepers in China. If you have some money to spare please send it along to them. They were a great support to the pandas and the surviors around Wolong after the earthquake on May 12th 2008.

Who doesn't know about the WWF? They do such wonderful work not just with pandas but with all animals around the world.
It was back in the early 1980's that the WWF and the Chinese Government set up projects to study and breed pandas. Without them pandas could of been a lost cause already. -
Chinese site full of stories and information about pandas.

A brilliant French Language site.
The maintainer of this site was instrumental in providing most of the information in "The-Pandas". -

Adventure World has a collection of 6 pandas, Ei Mei, Rau Hin, Ai Hun, Ming Bin, Mei Hin and Ei Hin. Kou Hin was born there but has since moved to China.
The pandas at Adventure World have two names one Chinese, one Japanese which causes me confusion whenever there's a story about them.
