PT Aware is completing two years. An edition every alternate month, six editions a year. This here is our 12th edition.
That is 12 species from around the world that we have brought to you, the stories of their fascinating lives, and the struggles they face.
It was a journey into the lives of 12 species looked at from two angles, the scientific mind, and the photographic eye. For us, it is akin to viewing a subject through a microscope and a kaleidoscope, to bring you the best of both worlds.
Dr. Peter Hudson has spent a lifetime in biological research, all those years in the field observing animals makes him uniquely capable to bring their stories to you. And the fact that he is an enthusiastic photographer who travels the world is the cherry on the top. Our hats off to Peter and all the scientists and researchers who have toiled hard in the field and labs around the world, to bring the hope of survival to various species and that of a better world to humankind.
PT Aware has been vocal about the power of community photography. In the last 12 editions, we have published images by a big number of photographers from around the world. The global PawsTrails community has embraced us with enthusiasm and has donated each of the images that you have enjoyed. Each of these images is nothing short of a labor of love, of the result of years building expertise in the wilds, braving the elements while staring at the world through their third eye. We are reaffirming our commitment to utilizing your images to further the goals of conservation and the betterment of mother nature.
We urge the global PawsTrails community to stay connected through the various outreach programs on our social media handles.
Please follow us on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram to stay abreast of the latest developments in the fields of research and photography. We bring together the best in their fields to share their wisdom and experience with the global community.
As we move ahead to our third year, we request our readers and contributors for their continued support.
