Zoo seeks longer stay for Lin Ping

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012

The Chiang Mai Zoo will soon raise with Zoological Park Organisation executives a proposal that China allow panda Lin Ping to remain in Thailand for another three years, zoo director Thanapat Pongpamorn said Wednesday.

 

Following that, the zoo would contact China for further arrangements over Lin Ping’s extended stay, he added. 
The Panda Research Project head Prasertsak Boontrakulthavee said his team was ready to continue taking care of Lin Ping. 
Lin Ping was originally scheduled to return to China when it became four years old in 2013.
