Before 1982, China has been giving away giant pandas as gifts for diplomatic purposes., but now, China rent pandas to private organizations for exhibitions. The organizations can have the pandas for a period of time, and if the pandas have babies, they belong to the Chinese government. Although organizations need to pay for keeping panda, they benefit much more from exhibiting pandas. China renting pandas is a way of sharing profit. On 2011, the Edinburgh Zoo rented a pair of panda, and they hoped that could increase the number of visitors by 35% because they were losing 15% of visitors in the previous year. They had to spend 285000 Pounds for the place pandas live and 70000 each year to raise the pandas, but it is estimated that they will be making more than 2000000 pounds in 10 years.
