Dear all,

The last month of Wiki Loves Earth contest *— *the biggest international photo contest devoted to nature heritage *— *has started!

We are excited about the results so far. WLE photos help to raise public awareness about protected areas and create the biggest database of free photos of them. May and June have brought: — more than *70k of photos* of nature monuments — from *25 countries *all over the world!

And 9 more local contests have just started in July in Canada, Ireland, Kenya, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, Tanzania and Austria. Go through your photo archives, maybe you have pictures of protected sites of these countries?
