Edinburgh Zoo makes plans to bring a pair of giant pandas from China to Scotland. Representa-tives from Edinburgh Zoo have recently returned from China,where they signed a litter of intent(意向书)making a promise to bring giant pandas to the zoo.
It has been suggested that the breeding pair should be rented to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland(RZSS)for10years and it is hoped they would give birth to babies during that time. Edin-burgh Zoo would be the eighth zoo in the West to care for the species if the project goes ahead.
Zoo chiefs said that looking after the endangered animals could benefit conservation. David Windmill,chief of RZSS,said,"It is an opportunity to work on a global level with other conserva-
tionists to gain a better understanding of the giant panda,the threats they face,and what we can do to ensure their survival."
At present,there are currently only around 1,500 giant pandas in the wild. RZSS has been working on the project for almost a year,and hopes to have giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo by 2011,the year of the society`s centenary.

RZSS will also provide considerable money to support giant panda conservation projects in the wild.Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central China and feel almost wholly on bamboo,which makes up 99% of the their diet.
