和盛

He Sheng is a male giant panda born on July 26, 2019 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is recorded as individual number 1245 in the global giant panda studbook, documenting his basic biological information for coordinated captive management programs. He is the offspring of giant panda Ba Si and giant panda Lu Di. Both of his parents are captive-bred giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, contributing to the center’s captive breeding initiatives. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in the center’s coordinated captive giant panda breeding and research program. The program focuses on expanding the genetically healthy captive giant panda population and developing protocols for future reintroduction to wild habitats. As a captive-bred giant panda, He Sheng exhibited typical foraging behaviors, spending most of his daily activity consuming bamboo. He participated in public education programs at the center, raising public awareness of giant panda conservation. His genetic data contributes to ongoing research into giant panda population health, supporting long-term conservation efforts for the species.
