That's awesome you got to see the pandas! The National Museum is truly something else. For deeper dives into panda conservation, you might try looking into the Beijing Zoo's research programs – they're often involved in breeding and conservation initiatives, and sometimes have educational materials or tours available. Also, check out any universities in Beijing with strong biology or zoology departments; they frequently collaborate with conservation organizations and might have public lectures or even archives you could explore. You could also try searching for research papers online – lots of universities publish their findings. Good luck with your panda quest!
