China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda Dujiangyan Base
breeding center Dujiangyan, China
The CCRCGP Dujiangyan Base, also known as the Dujiangyan Panda Park (熊猫乐园) or Dujiangyan Zhonghua Giant Panda Garden (都江堰中华大熊猫苑), is located in Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province. Built with funding from the Hong Kong SAR government following the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the base was completed in 2013 and spans 760 mu (approximately 50.7 hectares). It was the first facility in China designed specifically for giant panda rescue, disease prevention, and quarantine purposes. The base is divided into seven functional zones including disease control research, quarantine isolation, rehabilitation training, public education, and natural landscape areas. It serves as a retirement home for elderly pandas—including the legendary Pan Pan (the world's most prolific breeding male)—and as the primary quarantine station for pandas returning from overseas conservation programs.

The Bamboo Grinder: Panda Dental Health and Worn Teeth
A panda's molars crush bamboo for 12-16 hours daily, accumulating decades of abrasive wear from silica-rich plant fiber. By age 20, the enamel may be gone entirely. This article examines panda dental anatomy, the pathology of tooth wear, the veterinary dentistry that repairs broken teeth, and why dental health is the single greatest determinant of panda lifespan in the wild.
