A Rare Infection, A Sudden Death: The Chlamydia Case at Chimelong
In May 2026, Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park confirmed that Jia He (家和, studbook #972), a 10-year-old male giant panda, died from heart failure caused by a pulmonary chlamydia infection — a diagnosis so unusual that it may be the first documented fatal chlamydia case in a giant panda worldwide. This article examines the clinical timeline, the microbiology behind the infection, the investigation into possible transmission sources, and the broader implications for captive panda health management at one of China's largest panda facilities.

Historic Wild Panda Rescues: Basi, Qi Zai, and Other Survivors
Some of the most consequential pandas in conservation history were not born in captivity — they were found dying in the wild. Basi, pulled from an icy river in 1984, lived to age 37 and became the model for the 1990 Asian Games mascot. Qi Zai, discovered as an abandoned brown cub in 2009, became the world's only captive brown panda. This article tells the stories of wild pandas saved by human intervention — and the rescue infrastructure that makes their survival possible.
