Adopt Ning Ning the Panda
The Pollyanna Pickering Foundation is pleased
to announce a new partnership with the Charity Pandas International,
which will support the work of the BiFengXia sanctuary visited
by Pollyanna during her most recent painting expedition into
China. The Giant Panda, one of the most delightful and captivating
of animals, is also one of the most endangered. The most optimistic
scientific estimates place the number of wild pandas at approximately
1,600.
Through their exclusive adoption scheme which
works to directly fund the care of pandas at the centre, you
can adopt Ning Ning (Above).
It costs £3250.00 to care for Ning Ning
for a year at the centre - the money covers the cost of caretaker
staff, veterinary care, medicine and vitamins, and of course
lots of bamboo!
We are offering the opportunity for ten people
to share the cost of caring for Ning Ning for one year. As a

The mission of Pandas International, a non profit organization,
is to ensure the preservation and propagation of the endangered
Giant Panda by providing public awareness and education, research
funding, habitat preservation and enhancement, and assistance
to the China Conservation & Research Centres for the Giant
Panda. After a trip to China and the Wolong Panda Centre, the
sight and plight of the Giant Panda made such a dramatic impression
on Suzanne Braden and Diane Rees that upon returning to the
United States, they co-founded Pandas International to help
save this magnificent animal.
