Venturing deep into some of the most remote and pristine corners of China, American Gen Z conservation photographer Kyle Obermann, known in China as Ouyang Kai, uses his lens to let the country's rich biodiversity speak for itself to the world.

Raised in Austin, Texas, Obermann studied and worked in China for over five years, during which he traveled to more than 20 nature reserves across the country, including the Giant Panda National Park in southwest China's Sichuan Province and Shennongjia National Park in central China's Hubei Province. Through his firsthand journeys into these lesser-known ecological treasures, Obermann has witnessed the remarkable environmental transformation in China. China has undergone big changes in environment and environmental protection in the last ten years, said Obermann.

Obermann first began learning Chinese in college, but soon found his path leading him into China's vast landscapes that he had "never been taught in textbooks" as he said. Through his photos and personal stories, he strives to showcase China's achievements in conservation and to build a bridge of understanding between China and the United States.
