梦想

Meng Xiang is a male giant panda born on 2019-08-31 at Berlin Zoo. He is also known by his Chinese name Meng Xiang, and holds studbook number 1260 in the global giant panda breeding registry. He is the offspring of Jiao Qing (studbook 769) and Meng Meng (studbook 868). Both of his parents were loaned to Berlin Zoo from China as part of a bilateral giant panda conservation cooperation program. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, he participates in managed breeding and public education programs focused on giant panda conservation. The Chengdu Base is a leading Chinese institution for the protection and research of endangered giant pandas. As a giant panda born through international cooperative breeding, Meng Xiang helps raise global public awareness of giant panda conservation. Giant pandas remain a vulnerable species, and programs like his cooperative transfer support genetic diversity for the wild and captive populations. He is a popular attraction for visitors, contributing to cultural exchange between conservation organizations across China and Germany.
