China announces it will send two giant pandas to Zoo Atlanta

China's Wildlife Conservation Association announced Friday that male panda Ping Ping and female panda Fu Shuang from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will be sent to Zoo Atlanta under a decade-long conservation cooperation agreement signed last year. The announcement comes less than a month before President Trump's planned mid-May visit to China. The zoo's previous panda pair departed in October 2024 after a prior agreement concluded.
