Adventure World has been involved in the protection and breeding of giant pandas in both Japan and China for over 30 years since 1994, and now that all the pandas will return to China in June 2025, we have launched the "PANDA LOVE CLUB" as a new initiative to connect our efforts and feelings to the next generation, with the theme of "Thank you" and "I love pandas" that will spread through the panda. The PANDA LOVE CLUB, a club activity created by panda educators (breeding staff) and fans together, has been started under the theme of "Thank you" and "I love pandas".

　On September 14 (Sun.), 2025, we will hold a talk event entitled "A Story of Life Told by Photographs: The Future Connected by Giant Pandas" with Ms. Emi Nakamura, a wildlife photographer who has taken photographs of Chinese native wild animals and giant pandas at shelters in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, China. The event will be a cross talk between Tatsuko Nakao, Deputy Director of Adventure World, who has been involved in the joint project to protect giant pandas for many years, and Mr. Nakamura, who has been observing the lives of giant pandas in China and their reintroduction to the wild through his viewfinder.

Animal Photographer Emi Nakamura】
Born in Tokyo. The first time I went out into the field to take photographs was in the fall of 1998. In the Lofoten Islands in Norway, she encountered a wild orca. Since then, he has been fascinated by nature and wildlife, and has participated in research in the polar regions of Alaska, Antarctica, and the Arctic, the tropical rainforests of South America, Central and South America, Africa, and the Amazon, and on uninhabited islands for the conservation of the albatross, which has been declared extinct. In recent years, he has traveled to China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces to photograph giant pandas in conservation facilities, along with other wildlife native to China. He has published articles in magazines and newspapers, given slide talks, and conducted interviews with travel agencies.
