Welcome to the 35th edition of PTAware! As we move into June 2025, we shine a spotlight on a lesser-known yet fascinating species, the Bat-eared fox. Known for their oversized ears and social behavior, these small canids play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of grassland ecosystems.

Each edition of our free online magazine is a tribute to the beauty, complexity, and vulnerability of wildlife. We explore the complete life cycle of the Bat-eared fox, highlight the growing conservation challenges they face, such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, and discuss practical steps toward their protection.

Through powerful storytelling and evocative photography, we aim to foster greater awareness and empathy for species that often go unnoticed. Thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery and conservation.

Let’s continue to learn, respect, and protect the wild, one story at a time.
