Fei Yun

飞云

Fei Yun is a female giant panda born on 2008-08-15 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Registered as studbook number 752, she is a healthy adult individual recognized in the global captive giant panda breeding registry. She is the offspring of Pan Pan, studbook 432, and Bai Xue, studbook 685. Her lineage traces back to wild giant panda populations native to the Min Mountains of Sichuan Province, China, making her representative of one of the species’ distinct wild genetic subpopulations. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong Nature Reserve, she participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for giant pandas. This program supports the species’ overall conservation strategy, which combines ex situ management with reintroduction efforts for wild populations. As a calm, socially tolerant giant panda, Fei Yun has been featured in public education content about giant panda conservation, raising global awareness of the species. Captive individuals like Fei Yun help maintain genetically diverse insurance populations, as wild giant pandas remain vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and climate change.
