Hi!
This year's Wikimania is nearly here, and we are going to be there. On
Sunday, August 18th, there will be a session devoted to Wiki Loves Earth.
Together, we will reflect on how Wiki Loves Earth can be beneficial for
nature, how it can harm the environment, and what can we do to prevent the
damage.
More info about the session here:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Environmental_sustainability/How_…
.
We would like the presentation to be as inclusive and diverse as possible.
That is why:
1) We are inviting those who have experience in organizing Wiki Loves Earth
in their country to *join the session*.
2) If you are not going to attend Wikimania, please *share your experience*
so we can include it in the presentation. How exactly does Wiki Loves Earth
help preserve nature in your country? Have you heard about the ways Wiki
Loves Earth might be harmful to the environment?
Please reach out to wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua if you'd like to join the
session or share your experience.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Anton Protsiuk

international team
Hi!
WLE team is finishing the process of picking jury members who will review
the images submitted to the international round and choose its winners. We
are finalizing the list of jury members and will share it soon.
To make the jury team more diverse, we are looking for women (one or two)
with a background in nature photography, environment, ecology or similar.
They can be members of the Wikimedia community, though having a Wikimedia
background is not mandatory
Importantly, jury members should *not *come from or reside in countries
which participate in this year’s contest or be part of organizing or local
jury teams. You can find the link of participating countries here:
http://wikilovesearth.org/countries/
If you qualify for this description yourself or have ideas whom the
international team can contact, please let us know at
wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua.
Thanks!
