Really learned how to negotiate with the Chinese on things, the dos and don’ts. But the pandas were certainly the icon of all of this and kind of handled separately than the other animals that we were dealing with. But, you know, bottom line is the final resolve to acquiring pandas is that all projects needed to be signed off by both governments. That that was where the money was gonna go and support Chinese wildlife conservation. And yeah, certainly popular, but when they’re there for 12 years, people come in when they want to. And had successful reproductions. A lot of people invested in the project, a lot of team members hired for it, a lot of resources spent. But we’re able to recoup some of that through donations and support from other people who thought it was important.
