One of China’s premier tourist attractions—the Wolong National Nature Reserve, home to the nation’s panda conservation center—may relocate due to damage sustained by the Sichuan earthquake, the AP reports. Several panda shelters were destroyed and landslides have made roads to the remote center impassable, disrupting much needed bamboo supplies. National Geographic includes this amazing video of Wolong’s cubs being rescued in the hours after the quake. Here’s hoping for a full recovery.
