Finally, we get to do an edition on the Snow leopard. This edition has been so long in the making, with the paucity of data and the difficulty of sourcing good images all contributing to the delay. Photographing Snow leopards is virtually every wildlife photographer’s dream. Getting a decent shot can so difficult, the remoteness of the animal’s habitat, their elusive nature, the torrid terrain, and the cold weather all contributing to the difficulty. But, we could not have been happier with the photographs in this edition.

We thank all the wonderful photographers of the Paws Trails photo-community who have contributed the marvelous images in this edition. You are helping us fulfill our goal of using community photography as a powerful tool for the conservation of wildlife and ecosystems around the world. Thanks again for your wonderful Snow leopard images and your continuing support of this magazine, to help make people aware of the beauty and biology of the marvelous creatures that co-inhabit this planet with us.

In recent weeks, Paws Trails has launched a new initiative – introducing Paws Tales. Twice a week, we will be reaching you with short webinars of 30-minute duration on the subjects on Conservation, Photography, education, and awareness building. Please subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/PawsTrailsOfficial & follow us on www.facebook.com/PawsTrails and grab this chance of learning from the best minds in their fields. In these troubled times of the Covid Pandemic, we hope Paws Tales will be a welcome relief to you and help you feel less isolated.

Once again, we urge you to be safe and exercise social distancing and other measures of prevention during these troubled times. Together we can beat this, with will and perseverance. Let us compromise today, for a brighter tomorrow. It is time to drive home the point – Conservation is key, for the survival of the planet & humanity. We need to conserve what is around us in order to ensure the long term survival of humanity.
