Amazing photos of animals and plants fill the pages of PT Explorers.

Working with the contributors of photos and articles is a wonderful experience. There are many very talented nature photographers who are willing to share their exceptional wildlife images with our readers.

Clyde Odonnell’s article on Madagascar captures his love of nature, exploring news regions of the world, sharing his experiences, and most importantly always striving to capture the best photographic images. Biologically unique island like Madagascar are unfortunately in the news because of timber harvesting, poaching, and encroaching farming that destroys natural habitats and vegetation that serves as a buffer zone around National Parks, Reserves and Sanctuaries.

Carol Inskipp’s decades of ornithological research in Nepal has promoted a better understanding of Nepal’s bird species, stimulated birdwatching and guiding among Nepalese, and helped ecotourism. By identifying and focusing on threatened and endangered species, we hope this will promote more conservation of natural habitats in Nepal. Sagar Giri’s amazing photos are spectacular. Sagar is one of Nepal’s leading wildlife photographers.

Karen Phillipps is unique in Asia. Born on the island of Borneo, Karen has devoted her professional life to illustrating nature field guides and wildlife paintings. Her most recent book with her brother Quentin on the Mammals of Borneo is outstanding, and is filled with abundant ecological facts and numerous detailed illustrations.
