A cash-strapped Finnish zoo is preparing to return two giant pandas on loan from China as it can no longer afford their upkeep.

The pandas were loaned to Ahtari Zoo in 2018 following a species protection agreement made between China and Finland. 

Finland's government provided one-off support of €200,000 in 2021. Last week, a proposal for a €5 million state grant was withdrawn after receiving widespread criticism.
