据中国大熊猫保护研究中心消息，经过2个多月的隔离检疫和过渡适应后，大熊猫“福宝”将于6月12日在熊猫中心卧龙神树坪基地正式与公众见面。

Fu Bao returned to China from Everland Park in South Korea on April 3, and the Shenshuping Base has fully prepared for Fu Bao's arrival. Multiple working teams have been set up to care for her, and each team came up with an emergency plan to ensure that Fu Bao is healthy and safe, and can adapt to the new environment, caregivers and food.
今年4月3日，大熊猫“福宝”结束在韩国爱宝乐园的旅居生活，回到中国并入住熊猫中心卧龙神树坪基地。熊猫中心组建专业技术团队，制定饲养管理方案，以确保福宝健康、安全地适应新的环境、护理人员和食物。

During the isolation and quarantine period, Fu Bao adapted well and built up trust with her caregivers. As each panda is different in how they adapt to new environments, climates, food and breeder teams, the base, with specially designed enclosures with windows, help Fu Bao get familiar with the sounds and smells of neighboring pandas. The base said that Fu Bao is in good condition so far and will meet the public on June 12.
隔离检疫期间，“福宝”适应状况良好，与饲养员建立了信任。由于每只熊猫对新环境、气候、食物和饲养员团队的适应程度不同，卧龙神树坪基地门设计了带窗户的围栏，帮助“福宝”与左邻右舍的大熊猫进行声音和气味的交流。基地表示，“福宝”适应情况整体较好，并将在6月12日与公众正式见面。
