National park to drive revival of wild pandas

A new facility will be established to promote the protection and procreation of the endangered species. Liu Wei, Feng Changyong and Zhou Xiangji report for Xinhua China Features.

China plans to build a Giant Panda National Park spanning three provinces to help the endangered animals mingle and enrich their gene pool.

Pandas isolated on six mountains in the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan will be able to come together in the proposed park, which will cover 27,134 square kilometers, three times the area of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
