Panda reserve
Old 14-05-2008

I just read a post on the AAZK forum saying that the earthquake that ocurred in China yesterday was near the Wolong Panda Reserve. Has anyone heard any more news about this?

A dutch news report stated today that all the animals at Chengdu are safe, but there was no information yet about the panda's at Wolong. Hopefully they are okay, would be a shame if something happened to the Wolong Center...

12000 dead, 60000 missing. That sounds pretty serious to me.

Giant pandas missing after China quake - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Almost half of the enclosures were damaged, but only 3 pandas are missing.
