A home for Pandas in New Zealand
Pandaland is a privately funded conservation and cultural project proposed for Hawke’s Bay.
It aims to bring two Giant Pandas to Aotearoa as part of a conservation partnership designed to benefit New Zealand, Hawke’s Bay, and global biodiversity efforts.
This initiative enriches the region’s economy, strengthens cross-cultural collaboration with China, and supports long-term species preservation – all without any cost to local or national government.
Pandaland Fly-through
Our
Mission
At its core, Pandaland is dedicated to the preservation of Giant Panda bears, ensuring the species' future through educational initiatives and conservation efforts.
Pandaland aims to transform Hawke’s Bay into a vibrant hub of biodiversity and cross-cultural collaboration, with a strong focus on conservation, sustainability, and education.
This fully privately funded, non-profit venture seeks to enrich the local community, bolster the regional economy, and enhance New Zealand’s international standing as a leader in wildlife conservation and cross-cultural cooperation.
Conservation in Action
Pandaland contributes to international conservation through education, public awareness, and support for panda preservation efforts – including habitat restoration and future reintroduction initiatives led by China. Our conservation-centred environment creates opportunities for visitors, researchers, and students to engage in meaningful learning.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Through school programmes, workshops, and digital learning, we inspire curiosity and environmental stewardship. Students explore ecosystems, biodiversity, and cultural exchange through engaging, curriculum-linked experiences.
