Wu Wen

武雯

Wu Wen is a female giant panda born on 2013-08-06 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is listed under studbook number 872 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks individual giant pandas managed in conservation breeding programs. She is the offspring of Gu Gu (studbook 749) and Xi Xi (studbook 567), both adult giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her lineage is part of the center’s planned breeding efforts to maintain genetic diversity among the captive giant panda population. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, she participates in the center’s long-term captive breeding and behavioral research programs for giant pandas. Researchers at the center regularly collect non-invasive data on her feeding, social interaction, and activity patterns to inform species management. As a healthy captive-born giant panda, Wu Wen displays typical giant panda traits: she spends most of her daytime hours foraging for bamboo and resting. She is a popular subject for visitor observation at the center, bringing public attention to global giant panda conservation. Her participation in the breeding program supports the goal of sustaining a genetically viable captive giant panda population that contributes to overall species recovery.
