On May 12th, a powerful earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale jolted Sichuan province in southwestern China, claiming over 50,000 lives.

For the past 3 months, our international film crew has been shooting in the mountains of Wolong, home to the Wild Giant Panda when the earthquake struck. Thankfully, our crews of 28, including 1 American producer and 1 HKSAR editor, have all safely returned home with the help from both the Chinese government and local citizens.

working and living together with the people of the Panda preserve and the pandas for more than three months, we have developed a bond of friendship and respect with nearly every member of this amazing team of people, working year around to ensure the revival of the panda species. Sadly, we have learned that 2 pandas are missing and 5 dedicated members of the Wolong Preserve perished while protecting the animals. We feel it is our duty to do anything we can to help the Wolong preserve, its people and the pandas in any way we can.

We are working with the International Red Cross, including the Red Cross Society of China to assist those affected by this disaster. Your donation will support emergency relief efforts to help those affected by this earthquake. Assitance provided may include sending relief supplies and providing financial resources for food and shelter.
