Ye Ye, a 16-year-old giant panda, lounges in a wild enclosure at a conservation center in Wolong Nature Reserve. Her name, whose characters represent Japan and China, celebrates the friendship between the two nations. Ye Ye’s cub Hua Yan (Pretty Girl) is being trained for release into the wild.

By breeding and releasing pandas, augmenting existing populations, and protecting habitat, China is on its way to successfully saving their most famous ambassador, and in the process, putting the wild back into an icon.
