In 2016, the IUCN reclassified the species from "endangered" to "vulnerable"

Name: Bai Yun
(pronounced ' by yoon')
Meaning: ""White Cloud"
Gender: Female
Age: born September 7, 1991
Came from: Wolong Panda Conservation Center

Bai Yun was the first successful birth of a giant panda at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in China.
Bai Yun's mother, Dong Dong, was caught in the wild and was at the Panyu Xiangjiang Wild Animal World in Guangzhou at the time of her death in 2011. Bai Yun's father, Pan Pan, who was also the sire of Tian Tian, lived in Zunyi.
In the spring of 1999, Bai Yun was artificially inseminated with sperm from Shi Shi, the male panda at the zoo at that time. On August 21, 1999, Bai Yun gave birth to her first cub, Hua Mei, who is also the first giant panda born in the United States to survive to adulthood. Bai Yun has since given birth to five other cubs, Mei Sheng (2003), Su Lin (2005), Zhen Zhen (2007), Yun Zi (2009), and Xiao Liwu (2012), all via natural mating. Bai Yun and these cubs' sire, Gao Gao, are considered the most reproductively successful panda parents in captivity. With the birth of Xiao Liwu in 2012, Bai Yun became the second oldest panda on record to give birth. The oldest panda on record to give birth was two days older than Bai Yun at the time of birth of their respective cubs.
Bai Yun has been at the San Diego Zoo since September 10, 1996.
She gave birth to her sixth cub in 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo, considered the most surviving pandas born at a breeding facility outside of native China. 26/10/2012/ San Diego Zoo / California
