Conserving Giant pandas without borders and serving as an envoy in the home of giant pandas

"

Panda art expresses a culture of black and white in this wonderful space and time.

The giant panda is not only an endangered species of wild animals in the world, but also a unique and charming cultural symbol.

As one of the experiential activities of “UNDP panda ambassador”, “as art, panda conservation is beyond borders” – the world tour of giant panda arts will transmit the panda culture to an adoring and enthusiastic public.

As music extends beyond borders, Huang Xiaomao, an international musician, joins the production of The Song of Pandas.

Music, an important form of art in many cultures, extends beyond the borders of countries and regions, and is an excellent method of communication. For years, the theme songs about giant pandas have played an important role in the music industry. However, since the songs Panda Mimi and Super Cute Pandas are Coming were debuted in 1984 and 2006, respectively, there have been no recent popular songs about pandas.
