Wolong Nature Reserve
The Woloneg Natur Reserve is located high in the mountains of western China’s Sichuan Province. Set up in 1963, Wolong is home to over 6,000 species of plansts and animals. It is one of the last protected homes of the giant panda, red panda, takin, and golden snub-nose monkey. Wolong contains lush deciduous and evergreen temperate forests and high, ice-covered mountains. Wolong is a UNESCO “Man&Biosphere” protected area.
The region has been largely devastated on 12 May, 2008 by a catastrophic earthquake, though the captive giant pandas were initially reported to be safe. the well-being of an even greater number of pandas in the neighbouring panda reserves remains unknown initially. Five security guards at the reserve were killed by the earthquake.
Six pandas escaped after their enclosures were damaged. By May 20, two pandas at the reserve were found to be injured, while the search continued for another two adult pandas that went missing after the quake. By 28 May 2008, one panda was still missing. Sadly, nine-year-old Mao Mao, a mother of five at the breeding centre, was discovered on Monday, her body crushed by a wall in her enclosure. Panda keepers and other workers placed her remains in a small wooden crate and buried her outside the breeding centre.
However, we believe that after our effort, the area will be beautiful again.
