Summary

Giant Pandas in the Wild: Saving an Endangered Speciesis an insider's view of one of the most alluring and least understood animals on the endangered species list. Through photographs never before published in a book readers enter a magical world in the remote mountainous area that is home to China's remaining 1100 wild pandas. Zhi, who began her research in 1985, made the panda's habitat her second home and gained the trust of more than 20 of these animals. Her observations and photographs dispel the popular myths about pandas and draw attention to the dedication required to save the panda from almost certain extinction.

Author Biography

Lü Zhi was formerly the program manager of the giant panda conservation program for the World Wildlife Fund. She is currently a visiting professor at Yale University.
