Grab your camera and walk around in nature finding and selecting your subjects. Cell phones, point and click, or a higher end digital camera can all capture amazing images. PT Explorers is proud to present outstanding photographs. We look forward to you sharing your photos with us, our readers and viewers.

Endangered species around the world are a prime focus of PT Explorers. Wayne Kasworm tells a fascinating story of following a number of generations of Grizzly Bears in Montana, US. Peter Hudson reports on the threats facing the Mountain Gorillas in central Africa. Both species struggle to survive in the face of loss of habitat and human encroachment.

Chandi Prasasd Bhatt is India’s living environmental hero. C.P. Bhatt’s insight and creation of the Chipko Movement in the 1970s sparked India’s modern day environmental movement. Bhatt organized non-violent actions by women to hug trees to prevent them from being cut down. This movement of environmental actions by women has spread worldwide. In 2013 Bhatt received the Ghandi Peace Price for his dedication to protecting India’s environment. In 1986, my family enjoyed the company of C.P. Bhatt when he visited our home in Maine, USA. PT Explorers is planning to feature articles on an environmental hero in each future volume. Community leaders often play a significant role in protecting the environment.

PT Explorers is for you, our readers and viewers. We welcome your ideas, suggestions, new contributions and photographs.
