China builds world's largest panda-breeding centre
BEIJING (AFP) - The world's largest panda breeding centre is being built in southwest China, an official at the country's biggest sanctuary for the notoriously sex-shy animals said Tuesday.
The new centre, which will house 200 pandas, will be an extension to current facilities at the Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, reserve official Zhang Hemin told AFP.
"It will be the world's largest panda research centre based on its area and functions," Zhang said. "The first period of construction will be finished by the end of this year."
Besides pens for feeding and breeding, the base will also include a playground measuring 19,400-square-metre (210,000-square-foot) , Xinhua news agency said.
Pandas, one of the world's most endangered species, are a rare national treasure in China.
They are notoriously poor breeders, and experts in China are desperately trying to make the creatures mate to ensure their survival, using measures as extreme as panda pornography or rigorous "sexercises".
In one of the exercises, male pandas are made to walk on their two legs to strengthen their pelvic and hip muscles, earlier reports said.
As of November last year, China had 239 giant pandas in captivity, with another 27 living outside the country. About 1,590 more pandas are thought to be living in the wild.
By the end of 2007, Wolong Nature Reserve, which spans 2,000 square kilometres, had bred 130 captive pandas from an original 10, the state-run China Daily said.

The giant panda is one of the world's most endangered
species and is found only in China.
An estimated 1,600 wild pandas live in nature reserves
in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, and 217 are
kept in captivity.

Seven-month-old giant panda cub
Fu Long looks around as he makes
his first outdoor appearance in the
zoo in Vienna March 30, 2008.

year, 127 days after panda couple
Yang Yang and Long Hui mated in
April.

China to Schoenbrunn Zoo in 2003,
and are on loan to Austria by China
for a period of 10 years.
