From the ancient Rapa Nui people of Easter Island to the islanders of today, surviving in this remote location means finding fresh water and learning to use and appreciate the land around you.

On Labor Day weekend, I visited a panda breeding base where I discovered cute faces, as well as the importance of conservation efforts for pandas and other animals all over the world.
