STORYLINE:

Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo hosted a giant panda-themed cultural event on Friday, attracting hundreds of participants.
   
Themed "Adorable Pandas, Beautiful China," the event showcased an exhibition of award-winning panda-themed artworks from a recent competition organized by the Chinese Embassy in Austria. Attendees also engaged in quizzes on giant panda conservation efforts.
   
On Wednesday, Schoenbrunn Zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA) signed an agreement to strengthen their cooperation, which dates back to 2003, on giant panda protection and related research. 
   
Pandas Yang Yang and Yuan Yuan now reside at Schoenbrunn Zoo. Under the new agreement, a new pair will be sent to the zoo under a 10-year project after Yang Yang and Yuan Yuan's return to China later this year.
   
Stephan Hering-Hagenbeck, director of Schoenbrunn Zoo, told Xinhua that Yang Yang and Yuan Yuan are among the most popular animals in the zoo. He said the zoo will renovate and upgrade its facilities to welcome the new panda pair.

"We are very, very proud because we have great cooperation with the CWCA since (over) 20 years (ago). We are very happy because I think through this cooperation, a lot was done for the conservation of the giant panda. We have also managed to have some very interesting scientific results. It's not just a cooperation, but also a friendship between our staff and the staff of CWCA. We are very happy that this is now going to go on for another 10 years."
