in the era of social media, the chinese giant panda, known as the "most healing species", has attracted the attention of fans around the world. on august 25, "panda family" came to an end. as the first panda science documentary program in china, the program not only meets the public's demand for "online panda watching" with healing content, but also presents the details of giant panda protection work from the youthful perspective of trainee keepers' discovery, learning and experience, and feels the dedication and efforts of countless "panda people", as well as china's wonderful answer to the world's biodiversity protection.
put aside the "cute pet filter" and look at the panda's nature
on june 12, hunan satellite tv, mango tv and the china conservation and research center for the giant panda jointly launched the global live broadcast of "fu dao! fu dao! fu bao meet and greet". as the first public appearance of the giant panda "fu bao" after returning to china, the live broadcast aroused enthusiastic response. soon after, the popular science documentary program "panda family" was launched on june 16, and the bilingual documentary "panda narrative" was launched globally on june 24. among them, "panda family" takes "fu bao"'s new home - the wolong shenshuping base of the china conservation and research center for the giant panda as the core frame, inviting everyone to witness the interesting life of the cubs "xinxin" and "xinxin", the cubs "rui rui", "rui rui" and "xian xian", and the family of "jiao yang" and "you you", so as to get closer to china's giant panda protection cause and the daily life of panda keepers.
why don't giant pandas take a bath? the fights between giant pandas are actually a way of learning and exercising? what is giant panda enrichment? why do keepers often "throw bamboo" in front of giant pandas? "panda family" uses the patient explanations of panda keepers and easy-to-understand subtitles to popularize knowledge about giant pandas. in addition, "panda family" actively guides the audience to put aside the "cute pet filter" and see the nature of pandas. from the pilot film, the program has shown the view that "pandas are wild animals, not pets", and in the following content, it will fill the gap in the public's understanding of "wild population protection" in a step-by-step manner. "wild second-generation" panda "xinxin" teaches "xinxin" cubs key skills for survival in the wild while playing with their cubs, and wei hua, a former wild training keeper, is accidentally attacked by the extremely maternal giant panda xibao, etc., using real scenes to remind the audience that in addition to appreciating the "cuteness" of pandas, they should not ignore their true wild appearance.
in particular, the third episode, "the road home," presents the new wild training method of "mother with cubs" pioneered by the china conservation and research center for the giant panda. in the program, giant panda "xianxian" and her older cub go to a larger and more complex natural environment to start a one-year wild training life, while her younger cub is treated as her own child by "ruirui" at the shenshuping base, enjoying a carefree captive life. although there are different paths in the "bear life," they will eventually lead to the same destination.
the program tries to make the audience realize that pandas are fierce beasts rather than cute animals, and that captive breeding is only an important part of rejuvenating and rebuilding wild populations. letting giant pandas return to the entire natural ecosystem is the ultimate goal of giant panda protection. in addition, the trainee keepers in the program also went to the giant panda breeding park and health care area to witness the birth and aging of the giant panda population.
get to know the "panda people" from an internship perspective
in order to let more young friends understand and pay attention to the giant panda protection cause, the china conservation and research center for the giant panda launched an internship experience recruitment, and selected six young people with animal-related majors and a love for wildlife protection from thousands of applicants - ma xiaoyu, a master of veterinary medicine from the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, yang yu, a graduate of the school of life sciences of sun yat-sen university, wang yuhan, a graduate student majoring in wildlife and nature reserve management from southwest forestry university, long bin majoring in animal science from hunan agricultural university, jin yilin majoring in animal science from sichuan agricultural university, and ma yuying majoring in biological science from aba normal university, to join the "panda family".
in the program, three panda keepers, li dehong, liu huaiting and li rong, who patiently taught six young people to grow, have worked in their positions for more than ten years. from the most basic feeding and cleaning to monitoring the health of giant pandas, responsible for the artificial breeding of giant pandas, and participating in relevant scientific research on giant pandas, their work is not only meticulous and hard, but also highly professional. in the eyes of panda keepers, when cute giant pandas act cute and clingy, or when the giant pandas they keep run towards them desperately after hearing their calls, "reciprocated love" will make them feel that this is one of the happiest jobs in the world, "this kind of happiness is enough to keep you going for decades."
on august 26, the death of the panda "dai li" triggered endless sighs and emotions among netizens. many people said that they had just learned about dai li's later years in "panda family", but unexpectedly welcomed his death right after. in the health care area of ​​the dujiangyan base, keepers xu yalin, chen rui, and wang yanfang are responsible for taking care of dozens of elderly or sick giant pandas. when the panda zijin rescued in the wild was seriously ill and unable to move, the keepers worked together to lift it outdoors to bask in the sun and softly described the beautiful scenery outside to it. however, the death of a panda is a heavy topic for keepers. "we can't do anything, we can only send it away peacefully." trainee keeper ma xiaoyu said: "the keepers who have been working for many years have taken such good care of the elderly giant pandas, and they have been through so much with the pandas but are still cheerful." they are 'panda craftsmen'. "
"panda family" uses the camera to witness the process of six trainee keepers, under the guidance of professional panda keepers, step by step understanding "panda people", learning "panda people" and becoming "panda people". it interprets the spirit of selfless dedication and hard work passed down from generation to generation by "panda people", inspires young people to dare to overcome difficulties and pursue their ideals, and attracts more young people to join this special work.
some netizens said that the name "panda family" has a profound meaning. it not only refers to the happy giant panda family living in the shenshuping base, but also symbolizes the symbiosis and healing between humans and giant pandas in the nature reserve. it also carries the grand proposition of "jointly building a community of life between humans and nature." as the program said: "there are many species in the world, and the ultimate goal of countless people who do animal protection is to hope that the species we study and us humans can live together in one home on earth."
