FedEx has donated $600,000 to support projects in Sichuan to replant the bamboo forests in Giant Panda habitat.

The money will go to Conservation International, who plans 10 community conservation projects that were servilely damaged in the earthquake of 2008. The money will also protect the Yangtze River watershed.

FedEx Express Asia Pacific president David L. Cunningham Jr. said, "This alliance with Conservation International demonstrates not only a shared ideology between our respective organizations for the sustainability of our planet, but also our collective commitment to help in the rebuilding efforts of the affected region."

Cunningham added, "I am proud that FedEx employees will play an active role in the environmental awareness program to educate and convey conservation issues important to the communities where we operate."

FedEx is also well known for transporting Pandas to and from American zoo's with the most recent being Mei Lan and Tai Shan who went to CHina last Month
