Two giant pandas of China will become the most adorable green ambassadors and move to a San Francisco zoo to meet visitors there and help scientists to explore ways to protect endangered species.

In a significant step towards giant panda conservation, the China Wildlife Conservation Association and the San Francisco Zoo signed a letter of intent in Beijing, with plans to transfer a pair of giant pandas to San Francisco by 2025.

China is home to most pandas, the black-and-white bears in the world. The black-and-white bears have been a symbol of U.S.-China friendship ever since Beijing gifted a pair of pandas to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 1972. China and the U.S. have tackled many technical problems on giant panda conservation and breeding, including promoting technology exchanges and protection of endangered animals and plants.

Pandas International has highlighted that the favorable cool weather in San Francisco would be good for the pandas' well-being. The San Francisco Zoo's deputy director has confirmed preparations are being done for the pandas' return, anticipating a positive impact on conservation efforts and public engagement with these beloved pandas.
