Wolong Nature Reserve, a crucial site for breeding rare giant pandas, stretches for 772 square miles (2,000 square kilometers) across rugged mountain terrain of central China.

After making radio contact with the reserve, Chinese officials announced the pandas were safe on Tuesday after a devastating earthquake rocked the region.
