EPIC is proud to have helped protect the giant pandas during their 25-year stay in Atlanta and during their flights to and from Chengdu, China.
For over fifteen years, EPIC has worked closely with Zoo Atlanta on specialty risk management products and consulting services. In 2015, in anticipation of an end to the planned 25-year program, transit insurance policies and panda mortality coverage were added to a growing list of EPIC services to the zoo.
The successful giant panda program lasted 25 years! Since 1999, the zoo has worked with panda specialists in China in an historic collaboration that has benefited the care, study and conservation of this special species. On the morning of October 12th, the four beloved giant pandas—Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun, and Xi Lun—boarded a Boeing 777 and traveled back to China. The next day, they landed safely in Chengdu, their birthplace.
EPIC will continue to work with Zoo Atlanta in the areas of risk and consulting, or any specialty insurance needs regarding other programs for exotic species.
As always, our specialists are available for a consultation any time.
