圈养大熊猫个体特点对放归后生存的影响

Discussion on individual animal traits influencing post-release survival of captive-bred giant pandas

从圈养大熊猫生物学特性和个体能力两方面研究了放归个体的特点对其放归后存活的影响,指出了建立类似野生大熊猫生长和行为发育所需环境条件的饲养管理系统是大熊猫放归成功的关键条件之一.结合当前的研究成果,提出了放归大熊猫的饲养管理中相应的一些措施.

Relocation of captive giant pandas refers to releasing captive-bred giant pandas to the wild with the aim of bolstering and restoring the wild panda population.This method should be one of the key approaches adopted as part of conservation measures implemented for this endangered species.Compared to translocation of wild pandas to a new place,relocation of captive-bred pandas faces more difficulties and challenges.At present,giant panda relocation programs are still at the exploration stage in China.Focusing on captive-bred giant pandas,individual animal traits are discussed here.It is indicated that a well-managed husbandary system which enables the captive pandas to develop normally as wild ones is one of the key factors for relocation programs.Accordingly,based on some latest achievements,some measures to improve husbandary management are presented.This summary provides scientific data concerning ongoing giant panda reintroduction work,particularly on selecting animals for reintroduction and on training animals for release.
