樱浜

Ouhin is a female giant panda born on 2014-12-02 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Her studbook number is 1045, and she was born to a breeding pair managed under the base’s coordinated captive breeding program for giant pandas. She is the offspring of Xiongbang (studbook 649) and Huamei (studbook 554). Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas that have resided at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for most of their lives. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, she participates in the coordinated global captive conservation breeding program for giant pandas overseen by the China Wildlife Conservation Association. As an active participant in public education programs, Ouhin draws visitors from around the world to the Chengdu base, highlighting the cultural appeal of giant pandas globally. Captive breeding success like Ouhin’s birth supports ongoing research into giant panda ecology and contributes to long-term species recovery efforts, which have led to giant pandas being reclassified from Endangered to Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
