He is registered under studbook number 1135 in the global giant panda studbook system maintained by international conservation organizations. He is the offspring of Pan Pan (studbook 700) and Guo Guo (studbook 821), both giant pandas with established genetic records in the center’s breeding program. His lineage is tracked closely to support genetically diverse captive breeding initiatives. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, he participates in the center’s captive breeding and behavioral monitoring programs. The center is the world’s leading institution for giant panda conservation research and captive population management. As a captive-bred giant panda, Hui Yi demonstrates typical foraging and resting behaviors of the species, spending an average of 10 to 12 hours daily feeding on bamboo. He is featured in educational materials for public outreach about giant panda conservation, and contributes to the genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population, supporting long-term species recovery efforts in China.
