Wrapping Paper

 * A 2007 release from the Associated Press claims that Giant panda feces from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan province is being made into office and wrapping paper. Giant panda bears eat primarily bamboo shoots which are high in pleant fiber (cellulose). Paper is made through a "day-long process of cleaning the feces, boiling it in a soda solution, bleaching it with chlorine and drying it under the sun.*

I think this is true, I've a TV documentary about it. Maybe it could be mentioned here? - Cy21 (talk) 23:21, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Name of this Institution?
This institution was originally called the something-or-other 基地 or jīdì for which "base" (of operations) is a perfectly respectable, but ridiculous, translation. Press releases in 2015 use the more sensible title Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center. The close association of "基地" and "base" with Al Qaeda may have nudged this change along; I don't know. In any event, it looks as though some sort of update is needed for this Wiki entry. David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 23:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
