China Support Effort



The Southwest China hotspot, especially the areas around the panda reserves where we work, is one of the hardest hit areas from the tragic earthquake on Monday. With obvious need for support, our CI China team has started to collaborate with our partners and local community leaders to assess the best way to help the rural regions where we work. The demand is most urgent for shelter, antibiotics, warm clothing, food and drinking water. It is highly likely that the region will need extensive long-term financial support (millions of dollars) and additional fundraising dollars will be needed to rebuild conservation efforts and improve the livelihood and well-being of the area's residents. Your support during this critical time is vital.
