Caption

Monoculture tree plantations cover the mountain slopes in and around the China Conservation Research Center for the Giant Panda, which is located in the Wolong Nature Reserve. Interestingly, the area is close to remnant native forests, indicating it could've been a perfect location for natural regeneration instead.
