Giant Panda National Park (Chinese: 大熊猫国家公园) is a national park of China. It is a large protected area within the Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi provinces of China. Established in 2020, the park is made up of 67 nature reserves and is 27,134 km2 (10,476 sq mi) in size, making it more than three times the size of Yellowstone National Park.[1][2][3]
The main purpose of the national park is to protect China's small giant panda population. The park's area is home to 1,864 giant pandas, which makes up 80% of the species' population in China.[4] This amount accounts for most of the population of giant pandas worldwide.[5]
