We’re still knee deep in winter, U.S. politics are a mess, and the UK is running out of iceberg lettuce. We could probably use a dose of Ami Vitale’s pandas.
Renown photojournalist and Nikon Ambassador, Ami Vitale, has covered everything from war zones to rhinos. But for a recent National Geographic story, she donned a panda costume and learned about the conservation efforts in China that have successfully moved the bear from endangered to vulnerable status in 2016.

Zang Hemin is known as PawPaw Panda for his conservation efforts. Lucky guy!
