近年来，日本可能即将迎来‘无熊猫’时代，引发广泛关注。这一趋势主要源于中日之间大熊猫租借协议的变化。自1972年中日邦交正常化以来，中国多次向日本赠送或租借大熊猫，作为友好象征。东京上野动物园、和歌山冒险世界等地的大熊猫长期吸引大量游客，成为日本最受欢迎的动物明星之一。然而，随着部分租借协议到期且未续签，加上中方对大熊猫保护政策日益严格，新租借申请难度加大。例如，2024年，上野动物园的明星熊猫‘香香’已返回中国，而其他在日熊猫也陆续面临归还。若未来没有新的租借安排，日本或将首次在数十年来没有大熊猫展出。这一变化不仅影响动物园收入与游客流量，也折射出国际关系与野生动物保护理念的演变。中国近年来强调‘熊猫外交’需以科研与保育为前提，而非单纯外交工具。对日本公众而言，‘无熊猫’时代意味着一个文化符号的暂时告别，也促使人们重新思考人与自然的关系。
Japan may soon enter a ‘panda-free’ era, drawing widespread attention. This shift stems primarily from changes in China-Japan agreements regarding giant panda loans. Since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1972, China has periodically gifted or loaned pandas to Japan as symbols of friendship. Pandas at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo and Adventure World in Wakayama have long been major tourist attractions and beloved national icons.However, as several loan agreements expire without renewal—and amid China’s increasingly stringent conservation policies—securing new panda loans has become more difficult. For instance, in 2024, the popular panda ‘Xiang Xiang’ returned to China from Ueno Zoo, and other pandas in Japan are also scheduled for repatriation. Without new loan arrangements, Japan could face its first panda-less period in decades.This development not only affects zoo revenues and visitor numbers but also reflects evolving international relations and wildlife conservation ethics. China now emphasizes that ‘panda diplomacy’ must prioritize scientific research and conservation over diplomatic symbolism. For the Japanese public, the potential absence of pandas marks a temporary farewell to a cherished cultural icon and invites deeper reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature.
