A tiny bit of good news from the rubble of the China quake: twelve eco-tourists who have been missing are alive, and have used a sat-phone to let their families know. However, not everyone involved in the tour was so fortunate.

But two Chinese volunteers with the World Wildlife Fund, which sponsored the tour, remained missing, a spokesperson for the organization said Wednesday.
"All 12 tourists are safe and accounted for. They wanted us to know that they were safe and to let their families that they were OK," said Kerry Zobor, spokesperson for the WWF.
