Welcome to PT Aware – a new Paws Trails initiative, the sister magazine to PT Explorers.

PT Explorers will continue to be published every other month as a magazine focused on travel and wildlife photography with unique content, including exclusive interviews with photographers, articles focused on species, photographic techniques and reviews, cub’s corner, art and the recognized collection of outstanding photographs. You will notice in the coming months that PT Explorers will be increasing the number of excellent photographs and be less text-based.

The new magazine, PT Aware will run in the alternate months between each copy of PT Explorers. This magazine will be complimentary to PT Explorers but focused more on conservation, science and community photography. The birth of this magazine arose during discussions at the Paws Trails International Wildlife Festival held in Dubai in November 2018. PT Aware will seek to increase awareness about wildlife conservation issues around the world – highlight both worrying and exciting facts illustrated by photographs provided by the Paws Trails community.

To be a part of the PT Aware Community, we look forward to your support by requesting your submission online of your exceptional photographs on relevant subjects. The editors will then select and publish a collection of interesting and unusual photographs that help illustrate the issues the animals face.

This first issue of PT Aware highlights some recent research on the state of primate populations around the globe – and the frightening issue that 60% of them face critical problems and are threatened with extinction. The thought of losing even one of our close relative is worrying, and we need to make more people aware of these issues if we seek to save them.

Our next issue will focus on Lions, therefore prepare to start uploading your photographs of these big cats!
