(FOCUS)CHINA-SICHUAN-GIANT PANDA-REINTRODUCTION (CN)

(240629) -- WOLONG, June 29, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Staff member Mu Shijie waves goodbye to giant panda Xian Xian after feeding her at the second-phase giant panda wild training fields of Tiantai Mountain in Wolong National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province, June 24, 2024. In recent years, China has made significant progress in panda conservation through a series of measures, including forest and wildlife protection as well as the construction of giant panda national parks. The wild giant panda population in China has grown from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900. Giant panda reintroduction refers to releasing captive-bred giant pandas to their historical distribution areas to live and reproduce after acclimatization training so as to rebuild the wild population of the species. China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) started a reintroduction program in 2003. It has reintroduced eleven pandas into the wild, nine of which survived. In the fut

CHINA-JIANGSU-NANJING-ENGRAVED BLOCK PRINTING-INHERITOR(CN)

(220422) -- NANJING, April 22, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Wang Kang (L) discusses with his instructor Ma Mengqing at the Jinling Scriptural Press in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, April 15, 2022. Born in 1992, Wang Kang is the eighth generation inheritor of the Jinling Buddhist Scripture Printing, a Chinese engraved block printing technique. During his ten years with the Nanjing-based Jinling Scriptural Press, which was founded in 1866, Wang has been involved in the design of printing blocks for over 20 classical works containing nearly 100,000 Chinese characters.
