Establish a wild giant panda genetic exchange corridor and implement the wildization and release project of captive giant pandas, thereby improving the genetic diversity of wild populations and reducing the risk of extinction, which is the key to the protection of small giant panda populations. In 2010, the Wolong Walnut Ping wild training base of the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center was established, and the wild training and release project was launched using the "female beast belt" wild training method. Researchers asked conceived giant pandas with rich experience in raising their children to give birth to children in a natural environment training circle with an area of ​​about 2,400 square meters. The young people grew up and learned from birth. In this process, in order to reduce human intervention and impact and to make wild training puppies wild, researchers wear panda camouflage coats coated with the smell of giant panda urine or feces when approaching puppies. After the cubs are one year old, the giant panda mother will be transferred to a wild pen enclosure environment with a larger area and a more complex natural environment for training until it is released to the wilderness at about two and a half years old.
