PT Explorers continues to expand its coverage, highlight environmental issues and the effort of people around the world engaged in giving this planet an opportunity to recover from environmental damage.

In this issue we publish several articles from Argentina, my country, where in 2018 six new National Parks were created. There is still a lot to do and the threats to nature are huge but creation of six new protected areas in these times gives us hope.

Victoria Reynal and Nicolas Lucas tell us about an ecosystem often underestimated due to the apparent lack of complexity. Nevertheless, the grasslands of Argentina, support great biodiversity, both flora and fauna. The article is illustrated by Dario Podestá´s amazing photographs.

Jorge Cazenave speaks about a special behavior developed only by some groups of orcas: intentional stranding hunting technique, in Peninsula de Valdes, Argentina.

Argentinian wildlife artist, Gabriel Hermida chronicles his journey on growing as an artist and also how his work allows us to raise awareness about the natural world and the importance of each living being.

Look out for the interview with Norwegian photographer Ole with amazing photographs and a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by Polar Bears.

From India we are joined by gifted photographer Amartya Mukherjee with an insightful article on introducing creativity in nature photography. His stunning images are sure to tempt you to try this craft.

We hope to continue bringing the stories around the world closer to you, as well as to show the beauty of mother nature portrayed through the works of gifted nature photographers.
