You Hin

You Hin is a female giant panda born on 2010-08-11 at Adventure World. Adventure World is a zoological park located in Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan, that has hosted giant panda conservation and breeding programs since the 1990s. Her studbook number is 776, a formal identifier tracked by the global giant panda studbook system. She is the offspring of Yong Ming (studbook 390) and Mei Mei (studbook 515), both giant pandas previously housed at Adventure World for collaborative research. Both parent individuals were part of a long-term Sino-Japanese giant panda conservation partnership that supported research into captive breeding of the species. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, she participates in coordinated giant panda conservation and public education programming managed by the base. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, based in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, is a leading institution for giant panda research, captive breeding, and reintroduction. As a giant panda born through international conservation cooperation, You Hin supports public outreach about giant panda ecology and threats to wild populations. Wild giant pandas, concentrated in the mountainous regions of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, have benefited from decades of coordinated captive breeding and habitat protection that You Hin’s placement supports. She is a regularly featured individual in the base’s visitor education programs that raise awareness for global biodiversity conservation.
