Japan draws lots to bid farewell to pandas

Because this country can't afford to raise giant pandas, renting giant pandas needs to pay a rental fee of one million dollars a year, and it also needs to raise giant pandas. Because the panda's food is mainly bamboo, if the climate is not suitable, it will cost money to plant and cultivate bamboo, so the cost of raising a giant panda is very high.

Malaysia is an island country in Southeast Asia. Due to frequent trade in history, Malaysia established diplomatic relations with China in May 1974, and was the first ASEAN country to establish diplomatic relations with China. In the early years, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, China decided to lease the giant pandas Fuwa and Feng Yi to Malaysia at the request of Malaysia. Later, the Malaysian Prime Minister personally renamed the two pandas Xing Xing and Liangliang, with a lease term of 10 years.

Xing Xing and Liangliang are well taken care of in Malaysia. 2065438+In August 2005, they gave birth to their first panda. After referring to the opinions of all Malaysians, the baby panda was named "Warm", which was widely concerned and loved by Malaysians. It attracted many citizens and tourists to the zoo, but after Wen was born, the zoo began to consider not applying for an extension, but preparing to send Wen back to China in advance.

Later, the Malaysian government also reached an agreement with China on the issue of returning to China in advance. Ma Fang's reason is that they can't afford to raise giant pandas. It costs $6,543,800+to rent a giant panda every year, and Malaysia also pays 80,000 yuan for each giant panda every year. Before the panda arrived in Malaysia, the Malaysian government and foundation had allocated 40 million yuan to build the Panda Pavilion, but these were not all.

Moreover, Malaysia is not suitable for growing bamboo for pandas, so it has to be airlifted from China. So the living expenses of a panda are really high, and it is precisely because of this that the panda was returned later. It can also be seen that the economic strength of a country is really important.
