Wolong Nature Reserve -
Wolong Reserve
In 1957
the Chinese government decided it was
high time to start looking into
protecting their revered animal. In 1963
the Chinese government started the first
giant panda reserve and since has set
aside a total of 10 panda reservations.
The Wolong (translated as sleepy dragon)
Nature Reserve, or sometimes known as "Wolong
Giant Panda Reserve," is probably the
most important giant panda reserve and
at 785 square miles (2,035 sq. km)
Wolong Nature Reserve is the largest
giant panda reserve in the world. It is
situated in the heart of the giant panda
range at an elevation of 6,500 feet
(1.980 cm).
The Ministry of Forestry of PRC and the
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
formulated the long-term Giant Panda
Management Plan up until 1989. In the
early 1990's it is known that
approximately 140 giant pandas populated
the reserve. Even though this is a
reserve, the poaching and forestry
activity continues which results in a
steady decline of the giant panda
population within the "protective"
reserve.
Today, the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve
Center has been turned into the Giant
Panda Breeding Center focusing primarily
on continuing studies of artificial
breeding in the hopes that they may
successfully achieve live births of
giant pandas which, after the cub
reaches maturity, will be released into
the forests. The other primary function
of the Reserve is bamboo ecology. Most
of the previous research is now being
carried out in other giant panda
reserves such as the one in Qinling
Mountains of Shaanxi Province.

It must be noted that both the Giant Panda Breeding
Centre and the Lesser Panda Semi-Nature Centre were
established for wildlife and habitat conservation
purposes, but not as tourist attractions. There are no
regular visiting programmes nor standby tour guides. But
owning to its popularity, there are now tour operations
arranging visits to the area.
If you do not know any of the travel agencies within
China, you may try to get hold of some local travel
agencies through the Chengdu hotels, so that you can
asked for a tailor made tour. A two-night stay should be
fair enough for going through the above mentioned spots.
In view of the long travelling distance and the limited
communication facilities along the way from the city to
Wolong, just renting a van from Chengdu and expect a
walk-in room booking to the Wolong inns is NOT
recommended |
