Welcome to this edition of PT Aware.
The edition focuses on the Coyote – a canine common to North America. This species is an ideal example of how misconception or the lack of information can lead to ruthless persecution of a species by humans. The persecution of the Coyote started with the misconception that they were serious predators of large game and cattle when they were in reality only scavenging on dead animals.
That is why awareness building is one of the key drivers for conservation efforts today. Awareness building to aid conservation is one of the main goals of PawsTrails and through PT Aware we have been bringing to you the stories of species from around the globe in the hope that our readers will use the information to aid the cause of these marvelous beings.
There is no better way than to experience nature firsthand to understand the marvelous creatures that surround us. The MaraTrails lodge in Maasai Mara is our initiative to welcome the discerning visitor to this wildlife paradise. This is the time when the Mara ecosystem stages one of the biggest spectacles on the planet – the great migration. Between the months of July and October, big herds of Wildebeest, topi, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle migrate into and occupy the Mara reserve, from the Serengeti plains and Loita Plains. August – September are considered the best months for sightings and photography. Book your MaraTrails safari today and be a part of this phenomenon.
We thank all the wonderful photographers who have contributed the inspiring photos that you enjoy in this edition. We are proud to be able to associate with so many dedicated and gifted photographers who chose to use their images to aid conservation efforts. We salute your spirit and remain committed to taking the fruits of your labor to maximum viewership across the globe.
