Dear Paws Trails Explorers Community,
Welcome to the 48th edition of PT Explorers!
This is our free magazine that comes out every two months, created from a deep love for wildlife, photography, and conservation.
Why do we keep going back to the wild?
Maybe it’s the thrill of locking eyes with a leopard, the flap of wings above us, or the calm silence of a forest at sunrise. At PT Explorers, we believe it’s all that and more. Most of all, it’s about the stories. Stories told through photos, notes, sketches, and long walks into the unknown.
In this issue, we share ten such stories, each unique, bold, and filled with love for nature. You’ll find an open chat with a master wildlife photographer, a thought-provoking conservation piece, a spotlight on a rare species, and an inspiring interview with a woman changing the face of wildlife photography. Our “Cub’s Corner” highlights a talented under-16 prodigy, and a real incident from the wild reminds us of nature’s unpredictability. Plus, we bring you a travel story for the wanderers, a heartfelt tribute to wildlife art, and a gallery of images that speak louder than words.
This magazine is free because voices that protect nature should never be hidden behind a paywall.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
