乔良

Qiao Lang is a male giant panda born on 2021-07-19 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He holds studbook number 1297, and is officially registered in the global giant panda studbook system managed by international conservation cooperative bodies. He is the offspring of Qiao Yi (studbook 1015) and Xi Yue (studbook 1098), both adult giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. His lineage fits the planned captive breeding framework designed to maintain genetic diversity for the species. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolten, Sichuan, he participates in the center’s captive giant panda juvenile socialization and pre-wildlife training programs. These programs aim to build individual survival skills for potential future release into protected natural habitats. As a young captive-born giant panda, Qiao Lang displays typical species traits including active foraging for bamboo and climbing tree branches. He has appeared in public education content about giant panda conservation hosted by the center, helping raise public awareness of giant panda protection. Captive-bred individuals like him support long-term species conservation by sustaining genetically healthy captive populations.
