Published Date: 24 February 2009 A LECTURE about the giant panda, one of the most iconic endangered species in the world, is to take place in Edinburgh.
The 'it's not all black and white' talk is part of the Edinburgh Lectures Series and will include three eminent speakers from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS).
Co-presented by Queen Margaret University and the city council, the lecture is part of the Chinese Connections programme.
Professor Alan Gilloran, vice principal at Queen Margaret University, who will be chairing the lecture, said: "It is a privilege for Queen Margaret University to be co-hosting such a special lecture which is appealing to such a wide audience.
"This lecture, which will highlight important elements of China's environmental impact, fits well with Queen Margaret University's commitment to sustainability and research."
David Windmill, chief executive of RZSS, said: "We have been working to bring giant pandas to Scotland for a number of years now and we hope to welcome them in 2010. Caring for giant pandas means so much more to us than introducing a new species to our collection."
The lecture takes place on March 27 at The Hub in Edinburgh.
