  • Zhang Hemin, Director of the reserve along with panda handlers wait for a panda in training to emerge from her cage in Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province, China. The loss of one of the world’s most iconic species is being reversed. Their habitat is being restored, and every year from now on, more captive pandas will be “trained” to be wild and then released. The accomplishment is extraordinary—first the Chinese have had to solve the famous problem of getting Pandas to mate. Then, they’ve had to take an animal that has lost its wild instincts, and re-train it to survive in the harsh Sichuan mountain cloud forests. It’s taken Chinese researchers over 30 years to solve these problems.

  • Scientist M. Sanjayan films at the Wolong Panda Reserve managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan, China. For the first time in 50 years since the WWF adopted the panda as the symbol of wildlife conservation, the loss of one of the world’s most iconic species is being reversed. Their habitat is being restored, and every year from now on, more captive pandas will be “trained” to be wild and then released.<br />

Many of us have ceased to think of the panda as a “wild” creature. It’s more of a cartoon animal that lives in zoos.  But watching Zhang Xiang, the first female panda to be released into the wild, you realize that she may be the most famous panda that no one—save a handful of scientists-- will ever see.

  • Four year old Andy Anderson, dressed only in his rubber boots and underwear,  rushes to help his parents Andrew Anderson and Hilary Zaranek to save a cow in the middle of the night who was having problems delivering in the Centennial Valley of Southwestern Montana, June 13, 2012.  Ranching is tough business with most working 14-16 hour days in the calving season. Spurred by growing consumer concern over meat's environmental impact and concerned about the long-term viability of their livelihood, a cohort of ranchers is trying to apply the understanding gleaned from the science of ecology to livestock management.

  • Children play on the beach across the bay where all nearly of their homes and boats were destroyed  after the deadly tsunami hit last December 26 in the village of Muzuku Thurai near Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, India August 26, 2005. Aid agencies  are providing entertainment for children in an effort to help them recover from the severe psycho-social health problems endemic to a catastrophe of this scale. Recovery is slow eight months after the deadly tsunami killed thousands, destroyed homes and livelihoods. The situation is still grim for many who suffer from poor living conditions, depression and many have taken up  alcohol as a means to escape.  (Ami Vitale)

  • Women take care of their severely malnourished children inside a stablization center run by the NGO Merlin in Wajir, in northern Kenya May 10, 2006. The number of people who are at risk in the Horn of Africa is estimated to be around 15 million of which more than 8 million have been identified as being in need of urgent emergency assistance. Though the rains have come and turned the land green, the problems facing the pastoralists still persist after 3 years of drought that resulted in severe livelihood stress, food insecurity, livestock deaths and high rates of malnutrition.
