### Who they are

The **Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding** is a non-profit research and conservation facility in **Chengdu, Sichuan, China** — the native range of the giant panda. Founded in **1987** with just **six rescued wild pandas**, the base has spent the decades since turning the species back from the brink of extinction.

By 2008, over **120 panda births** had happened at the base. Today its captive population is one of the largest in the world, and its science underpins reintroduction efforts across China.

### What they work on

* **Captive breeding** — raising cubs, pairing adults, and managing the genetic diversity of the captive population.
* **Research** — reproductive biology, nutrition, disease, and behaviour studies that feed back into wild-population management.
* **Reintroduction** — preparing captive-bred pandas for release into protected wild habitat.
* **Education** — the base doubles as a major public education centre, reaching millions of visitors about conservation.
* **Other endangered species** — red pandas, South China tigers, and other threatened native wildlife.

### Why it fits Pandacoin

Giant pandas *are* the reason this coin exists as a brand. Donating here goes directly to the people who keep the actual species alive and breeding. It's about as on-brand as conservation giving gets.
