With Volume 24, we celebrate four years of publishing PT Explorers magazine, online and free! Over 250 articles and several thousand photos have been published. Over the years, PT Explorers has grown from around 100 pages TO 334 pages for this volume.
PT Explorers is powered by the voluntary contributions of many authors and photographers sharing fascinating stories and articles, and spectacular photos of nature and wildlife. We owe a great debt of gratitude to everyone who supports and contributes to PT Explorers.
Twenty-four wildlife artists have told their stories about creating wildlife art and contributing to the conservation of land, special habitats, and wildlife conservation.
We are trying hard to raise awareness of conservation and wildlife issues and encourage all of our readers to become involved in their local community programs and projects.
Paws Trails has a small team dedicated to PT Explorers and other conservation efforts who deserve recognition and thanks for their inspiring efforts: co-founders of Paws Trails, Nisha Purushothaman and Hermis Haridas; Raghul Patteri for sub-editor; Lauren Steyn, editor for Southern Africa; Cynthia Bandurek, editor for South America; Nithya Purushothaman for designing; and Athira Mohan for Proofreading.
For my own part, I wish to thank the many authors that I have worked with over the past four years and the equally numerous photographers who have so generously donated to PT Explorers. A very special thanks and appreciation goes to Nisha for her diligent hard work on the design and web-layout for the 24 volumes of PT Explorers. The future looks very bright for PT Explorers magazine with so much heartfelt support expressed for the conservation of the natural world with each volume issued.
