Conditions covering the leasing of giant pandas to zoos by research centers are to be tightened after a number of the animals died because they were not looked after properly.
The State Forestry Administration, the country's wildlife watchdog, said stricter inspection and supervision of the conditions under which pandas are kept will be introduced.
