Why attend
The giant panda’s recovery offers a blueprint for endangered species conservation. Learn how international collaboration, captive breeding, policy advancements, and adaptive management have contributed to its success—and how these lessons can be transferred globally. The session will disseminate effective strategies and invite audience participation to shape future conservation effort.
Session Description
This interactive 2-hour session will bring together 4 panelists from leading conservation organizations to share key lessons from over four decades of giant panda conservation. Each panelist will deliver a 15-minute multimedia presentation covering habitat restoration, breeding programs, policy advancements, and ecological research. Instead of a traditional Q&A, we will use facilitated world cafe breakout discussions where attendees can share insights and explore how these conservation strategies can be adapted for other species. The session will conclude with a structured discussion to synthesize key takeaways and brainstorm on how conservation organizations can integrate these lessons and deliver conservation outcome.Organised by
