San Francisco Mayor London Breed, facing a challenging re-election, has proposed various initiatives to revitalize the city, including a soccer stadium, a new college, and night markets. Now, she has secured an agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association to bring giant pandas to the San Francisco Zoo. The arrival of these pandas is expected to bring economic benefits and potentially boost the mayor's support, particularly among the city's Asian population. The move marks a significant contrast to the recent return of pandas from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The city hopes to have the pandas by early next year, pending fundraising for a new panda enclosure. The initiative has received support from local leaders and officials, despite recent scrutiny of the zoo's operations. The delegation also worked to secure more direct flights from China to San Francisco and expressed hopes of the pandas producing cubs while residing in the city.
