Panda 'dating agency' to be set up

Scientists are to create an international 'dating agency' for pandas.
They hope the program will improve the breeding success of those in captivity.
Experts estimate the majority of the world's captive pandas are now infertile.
The combined family tree and mating agency should also help overcome the risk of inbreeding.
A five-year plan for saving the species was announced at an international conference in China's Sichuan province, reports The Daily Telegraph.
