Welcome to the latest edition of PT Aware.

Welcome to the 32nd edition of Paws Trails Aware —a space where wildlife photography meets storytelling, awareness, and conservation. Each edition is a step toward our mission of celebrating the beauty of the natural world while shedding light on the challenges it faces.

This time, we delve into the mysterious realm of the Great Gray Owl, a symbol of elegance and survival. With its piercing yellow eyes, expansive wingspan, and hauntingly silent flight, the Great Gray Owl is a marvel of adaptation. Found across the northern forests, it thrives in some of the harshest climates, yet its existence is increasingly vulnerable to habitat loss and environmental changes.

In this edition, we bring you stunning imagery, expert insights, and heart-stirring stories that capture the essence of this incredible bird. Through these pages, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the Great Gray Owll and its vital role in the ecosystem.

As always, our goal is to spark a connection between you and the wild, encouraging not just admiration but action. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting the vision that every image, every story, can make a difference.

Sincerely,

Hermis Haridas &
Nisha Purushothaman
