Em um zoológico indonésio, nasceu Rio, o único panda-gigante gerado fora da China em três anos — fruto de uma parceria diplomática entre Jacarta e Pequim que remonta a 2017. Seu nascimento, raro por natureza e improvável por circunstância, lembra ao mundo que a cooperação entre nações pode engendrar vida onde ela dificilmente existiria. Antes mesmo de ser apresentado ao público, o filhote já carrega sobre si o peso simbólico da conservação global e da amizade entre povos.
