Panda Conservation
Chengdu, China
6 week Internship
Faculty Sponsor: Sarah Bexell [email protected]
GSSW Craig Hall Room 167
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda
Breeding
4 Weeks of work at the
Research Base
Students work at the Research Base on education and outreach
programs for 4 weeks of their internship/course. On weekends they
go on cultural activities with a trusted friend and colleague from a
local NGO called Green SOS. We have partnered with this gentleman
for 3 years. To get to these cultural destinations we use public buses
or taxis for travel. The other 2 weeks of their 6 week time here is
dedicated to summer camps. There are 5 days of training (on the
Research base) and then 9 days in the villages (including 2 days of
travel).
Location Basics
The location is Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Chengdu is the
provincial capitol of Sichuan in the Southwestern region of China.
Chengdu is a very large metropolitan (14 million+ citizens) area with
modern conveniences. Students stay in a hotel, it is very clean, has wi-fi
so they can stay in touch with family and friends in U.S. They are each
given their own domestic mobile phone to keep in touch with their
professor and Chinese colleagues and especially if they ever get lost or
don't feel well. The work site is the Chengdu Research Base of Giant
Panda Breeding and this is a 5 star international tourist destination, as
well as an internationally recognized research facility for
the conservation of critically endangered species. www.panda.org.cn
