By breeding and releasing pandas, augmenting existing populations and protecting habitat, they are on their way to successfully saving their most famous ambassador and in the process putting the wild back into an icon. My book, Panda Love, features my long-term work on these adorable ambassadors made on assignment for @natgeo.
