Giant Panda: The Century-Old Legend of Living Fossil Animals (English Edition) – Discovery, Diplomacy & Conservation

From the 1869 Scientific Discovery and Panda Mania to Diplomatic Gifts, Star Pandas Like Basi and Pan Pan, and the National Park — A Story of the Animal That Captured the World
This book tells the story of the giant panda through the people and moments that made it famous. It starts in 1869, when a French missionary first described the mysterious black-and-white bear to the world, and follows the “panda mania” that swept Europe and America. Then it moves to the pandas sent abroad as diplomatic gifts, from Ping Ping to Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing. You also meet the star pandas: Basi, who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, Pan Pan, the heroic father, and Yuan Zai, born outside China. Finally, it looks at what has been done to protect them—their mountain home, the national park, and efforts to release them back into the wild. If you want to understand how this rare animal became a global symbol and what its story says about people and nature—rather than study an academic zoology textbook—this is it.
