武雯

Wu Wen is a female giant panda born on 2013-08-11 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her studbook number is 896, marking her as a registered individual in the global giant panda studbook system that tracks captive-bred populations of the species. She is the offspring of Xi Ao (studbook 608) and Cheng Cheng (studbook 622), both captive-bred giant pandas resident at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at the time of her birth. Her lineage is fully documented in international giant panda breeding records to support genetic diversity management. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, she participates in the facility’s captive breeding program for giant pandas, which aims to maintain healthy genetically diverse populations of the vulnerable species. As a mature, social female giant panda, Wu Wen regularly participates in public education activities at the Chengdu base, drawing public attention to giant panda conservation. Her documented lineage supports research into giant panda genetics, contributing to ongoing coordinated conservation efforts that have downlisted giant pandas from endangered to vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
