Ya and Xi are the only giant panda twins in the United States, Zoo Atlanta said.
Fewer than 1,900 giant pandas are estimated to remain in China's Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces with the majority living inside nature reserves.
Zoo Atlanta said it has supported eight of these reserves and has contributed more than $16 million to help with reforestation projects, conservation education programs, giant panda nurseries, research, and supplies for the pandas.
