Chengdu

There are two reserves that the protection of panda bears and moon bears in Chengdu. If these 2 precious shrines were injured in the earthquake and assistance they need, what kind of help do they needa

They were shaken and frightened, but was not injured.

I'll worry about the man first, then other types of Chengdu animals.and lower class is not so bad, the worse town of Beichuan.

So far, there have been no reports on how the Bears OBTAINED by the earthquake in China. The Chinese authorities have drowned trying to get help rescue all the people and cities that were hardest hit. And with 10,000 + dead, they really have their hands full, just now ... I think the Pandas-& Moons are probably good because they are all housed outside this time of year ... "I think that you do not have to worry ...- They will be supported ... :)

They have been affected in the same way they have been for millions of years.

Probably not for everyone.

(Good place for a gift for survival of the panda, if you wish)

The number of human deaths has exceeded 12,000.

We have 2 reports of satellite phone calls to the Wolong Panda Base statement Bifengxia the Wolong pandas are safe. We also have another report of a satellite phone call to the Forestry Department of Sichuan, saying both pandas and the guards are OK, and the cubs were relocated to another safer place. Included in one of the telephone calls was the news that 20 people died in the Wolong area. We try to verify all information and obtain first-hand reports.

new was stated that Chinese army marched for 24 hours to reach the area of the epicenter and that the paratroopers will soon be abandoned and the equipment. They are not telling the details of where the army is running. The weather was very bad and caused numerous landslides. There also were several aftershocks in the region.

Our board member in China said pictures released of the road to Wolong shows it has been demolished. It was a dangerous road in the best case.

Since Wolong is so close to the epicenter of the earthquake 7.9, we believe there will be damage to the breeding center. We hope to be ready to provide replacements medical supplies everyday pandas need as well as additional equipment and surgical equipment. Furthermore, we fear that the supply of vitamins and nutritional supplements, cereals, and bamboo will be delayed for adults for some time because of transport difficulties and funding. Births are expected in June and hope that the nursery is complete and has utilities, including electricity for incubators. It is impossible to say what effect this will have on pregnant women.

With your support and assistance, we will strive to meet the needs of Wolong pandas and their dedicated keepers.

This response relates to the moon bear. The epicenter was less than 150 km from the moon gate of the shrine.

Jill Robinson, founder of Animals Asia Foundation (moon bears sanctuary in Chengdu), reported yesterday morning (shortly after the earthquake) that carries the moon and their staff are safe. An update of reports of bear dens are intact and undamaged. Very little additional information was available.
