Attached below is a very interesting report, and photos, about how hard the spadework that Dutch people had done before they finally got the lease of two pandas from China, as well as the national jubilation for welcoming these two king-like guests.

Many, many years ago I had seen a TV interview with the president of WWF, Prince Philip(Queen Elizabaths husband) that how could he do to preserve the endangered panda.  Embarrassed, Prince Philip replied to the question with "I wish I know".  Dont bother, Your Highness, China has done the job pretty well now.
