If you see a preview of this book, you will be stunned! This book was originally made by Zhou Mengqi, who spent years tracking pandas in the wild to get these shots, with the help of panda experts Zhang Zhihe, Zhang Hemin & Hu Jinchu. Now it is redone by Saraband, with an introduction by Iain Valentine of Edinburgh Zoo. Sales of this book support the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, which is owned and managed by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

The iconic giant panda is unique: it has no close relatives in the animal world. But despite becoming a symbol of wildlife conservation, having narrowly avoided extinction, there are fewer than 2000 giant pandas alive today. This spectacular celebration of our best-loved bear combines the expertise of the foremost panda conservationists with an extraordinary collection of previously unseen photographs by the world’s leading photographer of pandas in the wild. Catch a rare glimpse of this shy creature at home in the remote mountain wilderness of Sichuan.
