She's a giant panda Ambassador

Its always nice to put a face with those we keep in contact with and today you will get to meet our panda pal, Annette, who lives in China.  I think of her as a panda ambassador because she continually stays in contact with many of us living in different parts of the globe through email and other ways, to keep us informed of pandas through news stories and her own videos and photos.  For example, those photos and videos of Fu Long and Tai Shan that you just saw from the previous post are hers.

Annette, who we know as YingYing816, has a special connection with the  China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP).  Now, I know this gets a little confusing when I speak of the different panda bases in China, and that's for another post, but the Wolong and Bifengxia Base are part of the Wolong Nature Reserve where the CCRCGP is located. 

They just featured Annette on their website Wolong Panda Club and I wanted to share it with you here. Congratulations, Annette and thank you for staying involved with the pandas and providing that special link for others around the world.  The article,  Annette Yuan Renews the Adoption of "Ao Yun" follows below.   OMG, can you imagine being able to hold a little precious panda on your lap like this! 

On March 22, 2010, Ms. Annette Yuan from Canada renews her adotion of giant panda "Ao Yun".  Ms. Annette Yuan likes giant pandas very much.  Since 2008 she got in touch with Wolong Panda Club, she has adopted three giant pandas of China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) successively.  Moreover, where there is CCRCGP's giant panda in China, where she have gone.  Just because of her frequent visit to the domestic zoos and seeing CCRCGP's employees dispatched to work there, now she is an old friend of CCRCGP.  This time she does not only renews adopting "Ao Yun", but also will stay four days at Bifengxia Base to see pandas for four days.
