Panda International is a true advocate for all things panda. They work tirelessly to promote pandas through fund raisers and trips that enable one to experience this species in their natural environment.
I was fortunate to travel to China last October with Panda International. It was an experience I will not soon forget and the experience they provided was not only educational but enriching. Andrea Muller of Panda International work tirelessly to expose my husband and I to an one of a kind experience and she did not disappoint.
Hats off to Panda International. May more and more people hear about them and join the effort to protect and expand the existence of this animals.
In October 2019 I went on my very first Panda Experience trip sponsored by Panda International. The experience was incredible. It provided myself and our group with an opportunity to visit several Panda preserves which enabled us to see a large number of pandas (black and white, brown and red and young and old) and enjoy the opportunity to feed the pandas. Panda International truly structured the trip so that it was more than just viewing these magnificent animals. They also provided an educational experience that enabled me to understand these animals and the ongoing challenge to keep them off the endangered list and to proliferate their species. It was interesting and eye opening.
Panda International truly is a great supporter of the pandas and their efforts are to be applauded!!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Pandas International since 2009. PI's executive director Suzanne Braden is one of the most effective and dedicated nonprofit leaders I have ever encountered. Her organization's conservation work with the critically endangered giant Pandas has been crucial to ensure the long term survival of the species. I am confident all money raised after very modest expenses go directly to panda conservation and preservation.
My company, Access China Tours, works with PI to organize annual Panda volunteer tours to the Bifengxia Panda base in Sichuan, China. This is the only place on earth where panda enthusiasts can closely interact with pandas. Ms. Braden offers expert lectures about panda behavior during these volunteer experiences as well as delivering vital medical supplies and bamboo reforestation.
Pandas International is unlike most endangered species non-profits in that their focus is on ONE species - the Giant Panda. By working directly with the panda base and experts in China, I know that Pandas International targets funding to exactly what is needed to serve the staff and the pandas. I'm honored to be a part of such a great organization.
