Short answer: yes, it will take place in 2016, we (WMUA) have just got WMF approve funding of WLE 2016. Preparations required are similar to that of WLM (in particular it is highly recommended to have official lists of natural heritage).

Long answer with more details (and pages on Commons) will follow early January after the holidays :)

Best regards,

Is WLE taking place in 2016, what preparation needs to be done for Australia to participate this year
