Dear Paws Trails Explorers Community,

Welcome to the 45th edition of PT Explorers!

It’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come since our journey began eight years ago. What started as a simple idea—to share knowledge and create a space for nature lovers—has blossomed into a thriving platform for photographers, scientists, conservationists, and creative minds who are deeply passionate about our planet.

This bi-monthly, free magazine is more than just pages filled with words and images; it’s a testament to the beauty, resilience, and fragility of nature. With eight diverse sections and a dedicated gallery, we aim to bring you stories that inspire, educate, and ignite action for conservation. Each edition is a collective effort of talented individuals who share a common love for the wild, and we are immensely grateful for their contributions.

As you explore this issue, we hope you find moments of wonder, knowledge to fuel your curiosity, and a renewed appreciation for the natural world. Thank you for being part of this journey—we couldn’t have done it without you!

Stay inspired, stay wild!
