We give a number of lectures to not only raise awareness about giant pandas,
- We give lectures to reflect on the importance of life and the protection of endangered species through our giant pandas. As more TV programs, magazines, and other media report on our panda family, we have seen a rise in requests for such lectures. As of October 2022, we have carried out a total of 110 in all. While we originally spoke mainly at local schools, today we offer lectures at a variety of events, including those for medical societies and educational conferences. This has offered us a greater number of opportunities to give the audience the chances to not only learn more about giant pandas but also think about the importance of life and parent-child ties.
