Session 2.2 Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries

The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, encompassing Wolong, Mt. Siguniang, and Jiajin Mountains, represent the largest panda sanctuary globally, playing a pivotal role in conservation efforts for pandas, bamboo forests, and other land species. This sanctuary not only serves as a refuge for wildlife but also bridges urban and rural communities, offering a unique habitat amid bustling cities. Its rich history and ecological significance make it a focal point for global conservation initiatives, particularly due to the panda's widespread appeal, which inspires international passion for biodiversity protection. The study highlights its importance under Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land) and contributes to broader discussions on wildlife conservation through e-poster presentations at international summits.
