Abstract: Since the first long-term collaborative project of giant panda research and conservation was implemented with Japan in 1994,China has exported 38 Giant Pandas to 18 zoos in 13 countries for the same purpose.42 panda cubs were born overseas,32 were alive and 22 cubs were sent back to their hometown China.The 20 years cooperation made great effects in captive breeding,which strengthened the scientific collaboration with foreign countries,but there still existed some points for improvement.This paper reviews the 20 years progress in Giant Panda cooperation,analyzes the present status and exsistent issues and gives some suggestions for the future cooperation.

Key words: giant panda(Ailuropod melanoleuca), international cooperation, residing abroad
