Jing Jing is a male giant panda born on 2012-08-04 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. His studbook number is 901, which is recorded in the international giant panda studbook maintained for coordinated population management of the species.

His lineage is part of the center’s managed captive breeding program for the species. Currently living at Doha Panda House in Qatar, he participates in the global giant panda conservation partnership between China and Qatar, and is open to public viewing for educational outreach. This placement supports international collaboration on giant panda habitat protection research. As a healthy adult captive-bred giant panda, Jing Jing draws global public attention to giant panda conservation. He demonstrates the success of captive breeding programs, and serves as a cultural ambassador for his species, raising public awareness of threats to wild giant panda populations in central China.
