The Future of giant pandas in Singapore
WRS will receive a breeding pair of giant pandas from the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA). The two pandas, which are scheduled to arrive in Singapore in the second half of 2011, will have a new home at the River Safari, the fourth and latest nature park by WRS. The construction of the River Safari is due to be completed by mid-2011. Visitors will be able to see the pandas when River Safari opens its doors in early 2012.
