Abstract: Recent success in breeding of the giant pandas in captivity has encouraged panda conservationists to believe that the ex situ populations can serve as an available and practical approach for supporting the wild populations. However, microsatellite analysis has revealed that the captive populations retain lower genetic diversity compared with those of the wild. For this reason, introduction of genetic materials from wild pandas into captive populations is very necessary for sustainable and effective conservation regime of genetic diversity in the captive pandas. In order to perform genetic input from wild populations effectively, two crucial issues must be intensively investigated.
