Wu Wen

武雯

Wu Wen is a female giant panda born on 2013-11-10 at China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is registered as studbook number 890 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks captive populations for coordinated conservation management. She is the offspring of Gu Gu (studbook 587) and Xi Wang (studbook 751), both captive-bred giant pandas previously housed at the China Conservation and Research Center. Her lineage is part of the center’s managed breeding program designed to maintain genetic diversity for the species. Currently living at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands, she participates in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria’s Ex-situ Program for giant pandas. The program coordinates breeding and public education efforts to support wild giant panda conservation across international borders. As a captive-bred giant panda, Wu Wen regularly displays species-typical behaviors including foraging on bamboo and scent-marking territory. She is a major draw for public education about giant panda conservation, connecting European audiences to global conservation efforts for the species. Her presence supports research into giant panda behavior that informs both captive management and wild habitat protection.
