Despite American zoos' claims of supporting panda conservation, our investigation revealed significant mismanagement of funds, with money allocated to unrelated projects in China.
Records shown to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicate that around $86 million was sent to China, yet many zoos lack clarity on the funding's destination.
In many cases, American zoos funded initiatives like luxury apartment buildings and museums, under the guise of helping pandas, which raises questions about accountability.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has flagged these issues multiple times, freezing payments to China due to incomplete records and mismanagement by the zoos.
