We interviewed tourists at the river safari last weekend. They were from all over the world! Middle East, France, Arizona and England. These were their responses :)
England
1) I like how the tourists get a chance to see these rare animals in a cool (temperature) environment.
2) In my country, we designate countryside areas specifically for wildlife.
3) Yes but I feel they are over exploited by the Chinese Government. The reason they got to Singapore is to foster a good relationship between and China and Singapore and not for goodwill.
4) If it helps to keep them alive yes.
Middle East
1) I don't know.
2) In my country we do not have many conservation efforts.
3) It's good.
4) Yes as they are endangered and protecting them will give them a better life.
5) No I don't. It's better if the pandas live in their natural environments.
France
1) Close to pandas allowing more interaction. Pandas were sleeping! Maybe it is too hot?
2) We don't have pandas.
3) Very important as there are only a few left.
4) Yes, of course. There is a limited number of pandas. If they disappear the future generation will not have a chance to see them.
5) Not as good as natural breeding but its still better than nothing.
Arizona, USA
1) It's very clean and the pandas looked well-cared for.
2) We have better conservation efforts such as planning.
3) Very important as one missing species can throw the entire eco-system of balance.
4) Yes, definitely.
5) If there aren't any alternatives then yes but it's better if the pandas breed naturally.
