Dear Paws Trails Explorers Community,
Welcome to the 47th edition of PT Explorers, our bi-monthly celebration of wildlife, photography, and conservation!
What began as a simple idea, to create a space for storytellers of the wild, has grown into a thriving platform that connects photographers, conservationists, scientists, and nature lovers from worldwide. We are deeply grateful for your continued support in making this a vibrant, free resource for all who care about our natural world.
In this edition, we open with an inspiring interview with a renowned wildlife photographer whose work continues to shape conservation narratives. You’ll also find a compelling article on a pressing conservation issue, a species spotlight, and a powerful story from the field. We proudly feature a passionate woman wildlife photographer, a talented young photographer under 16, a travelogue from a remote wilderness, and an artist using wildlife as her muse. Don’t miss our carefully curated wildlife image gallery, a visual feast from contributors around the world.
Each of these stories carries the same heartbeat: a deep respect for nature and a desire to protect it.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
