The Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its koala conservation program.
Since introducing six koalas from Australia in 2006, the zoo has grown to have more than 80 koalas spanning eight generations, making it home to the largest population of koalas outside of Australia.
The park has also created the world's only case of twin koalas bred overseas.
As the koala population continues to grow, the park has officially launched a plan for releasing koalas back into the wild.
In the future, koalas that undergo wild training and pass the assessment in the park will be released back into their native habitats in Australia.
