Hong Wendong, animal protectionist from Taipei, was among the 17 representatives from Taiwan non-governmental associations and research institutes to the lecture. He extended his gratitude to the mainland side for providing them with every possible conditionfor the panda's public appearance in Taiwan in future.

Chen Runsheng, secretary-general of the China Wildlife Protection Association, said at the lecture that it is a long cherished wish of the mainland people to present panda to the Taiwan compatriots.

Mainland pandas' resettlement and propagation on the Taiwan Island would surely bring happiness and fun to the Taiwan people, Chen added.
