Thanks to the expertise provided by the Rotterdam Zoo, which manages the European breeding plan for this species, genetic and behavioral analyses were carried out to select these individuals from all those living in captivity! The precious genetics of these animals allows us to hope for the viability of a future reproduction in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first releases in 2003 and 2004 in this same reserve were not successful, as the animals never reproduced in the reserve. In the absence of ensuring the sustainability of the species, the animals were able to enjoy an adventurous but free and protected life in the Singalila reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, the 4 little hopefuls will be followed for 72 weeks. This will allow us to measure the success of their return to the wild while hoping that the animals thrive again in this sanctuary in northern India, ready to make a great effort to save the red pandas from extinction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Darjeeling Zoo on the front line<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Si ce projet est l\u2019aboutissement d\u2019un long travail de conservation de l\u2019esp\u00e8ce au sein de dizaines de parcs zoologiques du monde entier, c\u2019est gr\u00e2ce au dynamisme du zoo de Darjeeling, en Inde, que ces rel\u00e2ch\u00e9s ont pu avoir lieu !<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, this park, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, collaborates with European zoos to allow the reproduction and reintroduction of animals in the reserve, ideally located and preserved by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ces efforts ont d\u00e9but\u00e9 il y a plus de 30 ans ! La premi\u00e8re reproduction r\u00e9ussie (planifi\u00e9e) de panda roux \u00e0 Darjeeling a eu lieu en juin 1994, lorsque deux petits du nom de \u00ab\u00a0Ekta\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Friend\u00a0\u00bb sont n\u00e9s de \u00ab\u00a0Basant\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Amita\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In November of that year, Hari (male, born June 30, 1993 in Rotterdam), Gora (male, born June 25, 1993, Cologne) and Indira (female, born June 26, 1993 in Madrid) arrived in Darjeeling to bring new blood and continue the planned breeding program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n De nouveau, en 1996 Omin (nom original Tsambo, un m\u00e2le, n\u00e9 le 17 juillet 1994 \u00e0 Rotterdam) et Vicky (femelle n\u00e9e le 26 juin 1994 \u00e0 Anvers) ont rejoint le parc zoologique. Plus tard, ‘Vicky’ (rebaptis\u00e9e Prity) et ‘Jugal’ (m\u00e2le, n\u00e9 au zoo de Darjeeling) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transf\u00e9r\u00e9s au zoo de Gangtok (province de Sikkim) pour y cr\u00e9er un autre centre d’\u00e9levage et de conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Au cours des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, il y a eu au total 38 naissances de pandas roux en captivit\u00e9 dans ce parc zoologique. Il est encourageant d’ajouter que le couple du zoo de Gangtok a \u00e9galement commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se reproduire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le projet d’\u00e9levage de conservation du panda roux au \u00ab Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park, Darjeeling \u00bb, est l’un des programmes d’\u00e9levage les plus r\u00e9ussis et le seul (avec un centre subsidiaire \u00e0 Gangtok) de l’esp\u00e8ce dans sa zone de distribution naturelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tous les enregistrements du programme et des animaux ne sont pas seulement effectu\u00e9s au zoo de Darjeeling, mais \u00e9galement aupr\u00e8s du responsable du studbook international de l’esp\u00e8ce \u00e0 Rotterdam (Pays-Bas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n All these joint efforts show us the way: protect habitats, restore environments, support the local economy and act together as a team, so that one day nature will rise again!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le 15 janvier 2022, deux couples de panda roux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 en phase de r\u00e9introduction en Inde, dans la r\u00e9serve de Singalila !
