This event delves into the power of collaboration and people-to-people diplomacy that made it possible to bring two giant pandas back to the San Diego Zoo. The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s conservation scientists have pioneered partnerships with their Chinese counterparts, to protect and restore the giant panda’s population, habitats and food supply. Despite rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, the Alliance’s leadership succeeded in securing the return of the giant panda to San Diego in June 2024. Focusing on the achievements of bilateral conservation efforts and diplomacy, this event highlights both the challenges and the opportunities within U.S.-China collaboration. This public lecture is organized by the 21st Century China Center (21CCC) at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy.
