Wolong National Nature Reserve (from Chinese 卧龙; wòlóng; 'crouching dragon'), officially known as Wolong Special Administrative Region, is a national protected area located in Wenchuan County in China.
Established in 1963 with an initial size of about 20,000 ha (49,000 acres), the reserve was further expanded in 1975, covering an area of about 200,000 ha (490,000 acres) in the Qionglai Mountains region. It hosts over 4,000 species.[2] According to China's Third National Giant Panda Survey, Wolong National Nature Reserve houses about 150 wild giant pandas. The reserve is also a home to many other endangered species including snow leopards, red pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, white-lipped deer and many plants. Before the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Wolong received up to 200,000 visitors every year.[3][4]
As one of the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, Wolong National Nature Reserve has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006.[5]
