Sunday 8th March was celebrated worldwide as international women’s day. We are dedicating this edition of PT Explorers a women’s edition, a tradition we started in 2018. This is our third women’s edition and every article, photograph in this edition is by women. Thanks to Cynthia for stepping in as the editor for this special edition.
PawsTrails is proud to have worked with ace women photographers, conservationists and artists worldwide. We have admired these women for the pathbreaking work they have done in favour of mother earth and all her many inhabitants.
At PawsTrails we are fiercely committed to promote, support, encourage women and highlight their achievements.
• One of our 2 Co-founders is a woman, an accomplished, awarded and wellpublished wildlife photographer and conservationist.
• We publish women only editions of our flagship e-magazine PawsTrails explorers around World Women’s day every year.
• A women guest editor for our yearly women’s day edition.
• A women centric piece “Her Views & Visuals” in every edition of PawsTrails Explorers .
• Women centric and single women exhibitions in Dubai, UAE .
• Achiever awards for women at the PawsTrails international wildlife festival held in Dubai, UAE.
Humanity at this moment is going through tough times. The Corona epidemic which came to light in December last year is posing an existential threat to us. Never in most of our life times have we seen whole countries across different continents going into a near shutdown situation. We appeal to our readers across the world to follow guidelines and observe social distancing. PawsTrails has suspended all planned tours, exhibitions, workshops, outreach programs and closed the W in Dubai.
We sincerely hope that humanity will emerge out of this crisis, more strong, more wise and more in touch with nature.
