Giant Panda Conservation Centre, Zoo Negara

The Giant Panda Conservation Centre is a special exhibit located within Zoo Negara, the national zoo of Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur. The centre was established in 2014 and is home to a pair of giant pandas named Xing Xing and Liang Liang, who were loaned to Malaysia by the Chinese government for 10 years as part of a breeding program. The exhibit is designed to resemble the pandas’ natural habitat in China’s Sichuan province and features various enclosures and habitats for the pandas. Visitors can observe the pandas from several viewing points, including an air-conditioned viewing gallery, a rooftop viewing deck, and a glass-fronted den where the pandas sleep. The Giant Panda Conservation Centre at Zoo Negara is an important hub for giant panda conservation efforts in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The centre conducts research and education programs aimed at preserving the endangered species and raising public awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
