据中国动物园协会网站消息,为做好大熊猫“丫丫”的饲养护理和运返工作,按照国家有关主管部门要求,中国专家组成员、北京动物园的兽医和饲养员已于美国当地时间3月16日抵达孟菲斯动物园。
The situation of female giant panda Ya Ya in the Memphis Zoo continues to tug at the heartstrings of Chinese netizens.
According to the latest announcement from the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens, two experts from Beijing Zoo, where Ya Ya was born, arrived in the US on Thursday local time to take care of her.
中国动物园协会表示,北京动物园两名工作人员在国内长期从事圈养大熊猫保护工作,具有丰富的大熊猫饲养和诊疗经验。未来一段时间,北京动物园两位专家将与此前在美的中国动物园协会专家一道,熟悉了解“丫丫”的生活习性和饲养情况,与美方工作人员共同做好“丫丫”的饲养护理和健康评估。同时,进一步细化回国前的准备工作,确保安全稳妥护送“丫丫”回国。
The two experts are veterinarians and specialists in panda breeding. They had rich experience in dealing with, raising and treating giant pandas in captivity, the association said in its announcement.
They will work together with Chinese experts already at Memphis Zoo to learn about the habits and situation of Ya Ya and work together with US partners, the association said.
The experts will also help enhance preparation for the return of Ya Ya to guarantee the safety of her returning journey, according to the announcement.
据潮新闻报道,志愿者透露,丫丫回国后在北京动物园的居所也在动工中,有工作人员称,应该能在3月底之前完工。此外,丫丫回国后将先抵达上海进行一个多月的检疫,检疫合格后,才能飞回北京 。
而据顶端新闻消息,3月16日晚他们联系到了丫丫所属的北京动物园上级部门——北京市公园管理中心,该中心工作人员回应:专家已经抵达美国,正在展开工作,两位专家都是北京动物园专业的熊猫饲养专家。“专家过去主要是照料丫丫的生活起居,为它治疗皮肤病,协助孟菲斯动物园进行护理之类的工作,会尽他们所能在有限时间把丫丫照料好,了解它的健康状况。”
据该工作人员介绍,“理想状态下是希望两位专家能和丫丫一同回国,但后续还是要看和孟菲斯动物园以及其他部门协调的结果。”
对于丫丫4月7日能否回国,该工作人员称不能确定,“因为合同是4月7日到期,但是具体的回国手续依然在公示和办理。”他表示,他和所有等待丫丫回国的爱心人士一样心切,“我们会积极去推动丫丫回国相关工作的进展。”
Chinese netizens had been calling for earlier return of Ya Ya before her contract ends on April 7 due to growing concerns over her health.
Staff at the Beijing Zoos management authority told media that they hoped that the experts could take Ya Ya back home with them at the end of their stay. But it is dependent on negotiation with the Memphis Zoo.
They said the Beijing Zoo is constructing a habitat for Ya Ya after she returns home and that the habitat is scheduled to be completed at the end of March.
丫丫,等你回家!
