4 giant pandas return to China after 25 years at Zoo Atlanta, raising $17M for conservation efforts.

Zoo Atlanta's four giant pandas—Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun, and Xi Lun—will return to China in mid-October after 25 years at the zoo. Their departure is significant for panda conservation and research, as Zoo Atlanta has raised over $17 million for panda habitat efforts in China. While the species was removed from the endangered list, they remain vulnerable due to habitat loss. A farewell event, "Panda-Palooza," is scheduled for October 5.
