YANUA International will be helping out giant pandas by donating $1 from every Saving Pandas game downloaded at the Apple app store through June 4, 2014. The game, which is available for $1.99 and can be played on iPhones, iPods, and iPads, was launched in collaboration with China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
No one can resist a panda, and by downloading the game you can be a part of helping to raise much-needed money for the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy. The Conservancy is working to assist endangered species and save them from extinction, and YANUA’s goal is to raise $10,000 for the project.
“We appreciate YANUA’s interest in contributing to San Diego Zoo Global’s work with giant pandas,” said Ted Molter, chief marketing officer for San Diego Zoo Global. “We hope this campaign will raise money and awareness for our conservation programs.”
YANUA is also hosting a special interactive experience on May 25th from 9am through 6pm at the World Famous San Diego Zoo. Zoo visitors can play the game which involves saving baby pandas from space aliens, get a free Saving Pandas tattoo, and take part in panda-themed photo opportunities.

Details on the Saving Pandas Game:
In an age where our children are so involved with screens – be it TV, tablet or phone – why not educate and create awareness about something positive while they’re at it? And it’s a topic that almost every child and adult loves: Giant Pandas!
Saving Pandas is a fun and educational game that raises awareness around Giant Panda conservation. The characters in the game, the P-5 (Pandas Five), were inspired by a real group of Giant Pandas that reside at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. These five pandas each have their own unique identity, but together they represent a force for positive change in the world.
In addition to adorable child-appropriate game play with the P-5, in between challenge levels, facts about Giant Pandas help educate players and remind all about the importance of caring for the well-being and conservation of one of the world’s most loved animals.
The game requires players to use their skills to overcome obstacles, hurdles and enemies on unfriendly planets to save baby pandas abducted by evil space aliens. Players select a P-5 hero based on the five giant pandas living at the Chengdu Research Base, each with its own personality. The game pandas represent a force for positive change in the world, and players use their panda to collect hearts during their journey.
