康宁

Kang Ning is a female giant panda born on 2023-07-25 at Fuzhou Panda World. She is registered as studbook number 1344 in the global giant panda studbook managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is the offspring of Youzai (studbook 1109) and Bifeng (studbook 953). Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas with stable genetic records that support coordinated giant panda conservation breeding programs. Currently living at Fuzhou Panda World, she participates in the facility’s public education and captive breeding conservation initiatives. Fuzhou Panda World, located in Fujian Province, China, participates in national efforts to protect endangered giant pandas and raise public awareness of biodiversity conservation. As a young captive-born giant panda, Kang Ning draws regular public interest from domestic and international visitors. Her presence supports research on giant panda juvenile development, and helps highlight the success of decades of giant panda conservation work that downgraded the species from Endangered to Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
