Volunteers are invited to assist in an exciting and meaningful program with giant pandas in China! Their survival is of high importance and time is of the essence when it comes to saving this species. The China Conversation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) is situated in Bifengxia, the branch of Woolong.

I’ve really enjoyed the experience
by: Christine LuProgram: Giant Panda Center in Chengdu, ChinaI’ve really enjoyed the experience and would love to do it again! Special recognition to our guide April, she was great! Only improvement area would be the Hostel in Chengdu, accommodations was really bad. Maybe a nicer option could be given for people to chose from. And considering China social media restrictions, would be good to give the tip in advance for people to download a VPN and WeChat.
The interaction with pandas & learning about the pandas from the keepers was awesome
by: Jessica LawProgram: Giant Panda Center in Chengdu, ChinaThis has been one of the best trips I've been on! I love pandas with a passion, and being able to be near them every day was just incredible. I learnt a lot from the keepers, not just about the species but also about every panda we had in the area (there were 13 pandas in the area I was assigned to). The weekend trips around the area were also eye opening! An excellent trip overall with great friendships forged.
The union with nature outside big cities
by: Anastasia ErastovaProgram: Giant Panda Center in Chengdu, ChinaThe union with nature outside big cities was a nice sight. For me this trip was fascinating as i had an opportunity to escape from normal life and spend time with animals and nature, to get to know absolutely new for me Chinese culture.
