We want to produce a magnificent illustrated book about the pandas at Schönbrunn Zoo. The book is to be published in German and English and tell the whole panda story on at least 168 pages: From the initial negotiations with China about sending Yang Yang and Long Hui to Vienna in 2003 to their current cubs, the twins Fu Feng and Fu Ban.
