Description
Panda Love is a collection of incredible images of these gentle giants.
Ami Vitale's stunning photographs, taken on location in China, document the efforts to breed pandas and release them back into the wild. Ami was given unprecedented access to the pandas and her photos give an amazing insight into the bears' lives in both the sanctuaries and their natural habitat.
Fluffy panda cubs tumble out of baskets and play hide-and-seek with their carers, while the adult pandas curiously explore the forest and climb trees. The giant panda is everyone's favourite bamboo-munching bear.
China is on course to save its most famous ambassador, and Panda Love lovingly documents the process of putting the wild back into an icon.

Person
Ami Vitale is an American photojournalist and documentary film maker. She is a Nikon ambassador and a regular contributor to National Geographic. She has travelled to more than 90 countries, bearing witness not only to violence and conflict, but also to surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit. Throughout the years, Ami has lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit- keeping true to her belief in the importance of "living the story." In 2009, after shooting a powerful story on the transport and release of one the world's last white rhinos, Ami shifted her focus to today's most compelling wildlife and environmental stories.
