The duo arrived in Thailand in 2003, triggering "panda fever" in the tropical country. More than 7.4 million people visited the zoo over the course of 19 years, from 2003 to 2022.

News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 24/07/2022
» It seems a bit of a paradox to be sitting in Bangkok and reading about how hot it is in London. But this was the case last week when for the first time Britain experienced temperatures exceeding 40C. Heathrow Airport was the first to clock that magic number. Last time I was at Heathrow it was more like 4C.
Time to restore human relations with biodiversity
Oped, Qu Dongyu & Inger Andersen, Published on 30/05/2020
