Giant pandas around the world
As of 10 March 2026, there are 20 zoos and parks in 16 countries and 3 area(s) outside of mainland China (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Qatar, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Russia, and the United States, and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) that have giant pandas. These zoos have contracts with China to house these pandas for a few years. Exceptions include some of the pandas held at Ocean Park Hong Kong, the three pandas held at Taipei Zoo, which are given by China, and one panda held in Mexico. Giant pandas are on the IUCN Red List so part of the reason these contracts exist between China and international zoos is to try to help the species reproduce before they are brought back to their native land. For this reason, pandas are treated very well.
