What's black and white and seen all over? The 1600 Pandas world tour.

The adorable paper mache flash mobs are leaving their footprints across Hong Kong. Created by French artist Paulo Grangeon, the 1600 pandas represent the number of living pandas left in the wild and help promote a world where humans and nature coexist. Check out these photos provided by 1600 Pandas and allow that very finite, very small number to sink in.
