Many called it “the best job in the world “. Without a doubt, for those who love these animals and would do anything to see them up close, care for them and protect them, this is it. The woman we show you in the photos we have collected knows a thing or two about it: we could sit around for hours admiring the care, affection and attention she gives to the little pandas.

Beyond the nice and curious aspect, the creation of workstations of this type is the result of targeted campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the protection of wonderful black and white creatures. In fact, pandas have long been threatened with extinction, due to continued human destruction of their habitats and low birth rates.
What do you think ? Isn’t this a noble and special job?
