The Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding is an organization engaged in protecting, breeding and researching wildlife, in particular pandas. It was founded in 1987, when six giant pandas were rescued from the wild.
At the base, which covers an area of 106 hectares, the captive population of giant pandas has thus far increased to 113, making it the largest group in the world.
Several other wild and/or endangered species, such as the red panda and golden monkey, also live and breed here.
