Can you give us a source? As Chester have made it clear that they will not be getting Giant Panda's.

The only way anyone will see a Giant Panda at Chester Zoo is via live video link to China!
Thank goodness for the sensible approach. In P.R. China there are well over 200 giant pandas in captivity (that is 14% by conservative wild population standards). I really cannot see the need to exhibit giant pandas outside P.R. China.
What that country does need is in situ conservation action and awareness raising of both native and exotic wildlife plight at the hands of Chinese populace. So, 100 dollars spent on in situ giant panda conservation by us is better spent than 100 dollars for an ex situ giant panda exhibit.

Link please?
It's official that Edinburgh are interested, but there's been nothing of any substance that Chester are also looking to get them...

maybe the one for Chester Zoo was an old article, it would be nice to see them in england but they are endangered species.
