The giant panda college under China West Normal University in southwest China's Sichuan province, known as the hometown to giant pandas, is set to enroll 50 undergraduates this autumn, majoring wildlife and nature reserve management.
位于大熊猫之乡四川省的西华师范大学大熊猫学院将于今年9月正式招生,预计将有50名本科生入学,专注于大熊猫种群及其栖息地的保护与管理。
The college, established last September by the provincial forestry and grassland administration, is China's first college to feature giant panda studies.
大熊猫学院是由四川省林业和草原局、西华师范大学合作共建,于去年9月挂牌成立,是全国首个以大熊猫研究为特色的学院。
The college has signed cooperation agreements with the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and several national nature reserves.
学院与中国大熊猫保护研究中心、成都大熊猫繁育研究基地以及多个国家级自然保护区签署了合作协议。
Wei Wei, a teacher at the college, said that during their college studies, students have the opportunity to pursue internships and gain hands-on experiences at these places, participating in work related to giant panda protection, breeding, and disease prevention and control.
大熊猫学院教师韦伟表示,在校期间,学生们将有机会到这些地方实习,获得实践经验,亲身参与到大熊猫的饲养、繁殖、疾病防治等实际工作中。
The university has a longstanding focus on the ecological protection of rare wild animals and plant resources in southwest China's mountains. It is the earliest, longest-lasting and most influential university to conduct research in the field of wild giant panda ecology.
