  • Giant Panda Conservation in China

    Your Role

    You will be working according to a daily schedule which will vary depending on the duties and number of volunteers sharing the work. The majority of the volunteer work that you will get involved with includes:

    • Preparing food for the pandas such as apples, panda bread, carrots, and carry lots of bamboo
    • Serving the panda's food
    • Cleaning the panda’s enclosures

    Based on the needs of the project at that time, you may also get the opportunity to observe and do research on the pandas, and help in providing medical care for them.

    Please note: Although you will be working in close proximity to the adult pandas, you will not have any physical contact with them. However, if there are baby pandas at the reserve while you are there you may have the opportunity to interact with them. You can pay a fee to the reserve which helps to fund the research and protection of the pandas, so please be prepared to take some extra money with you, an extra £50 should be sufficient for taking a photo and a £100 for 5 minutes playing time. Please note this is an optional extra and is dependent on the condition and age of the pandas.

    Please note: Itineraries and activities are subject to change
