Dear Wikimedians, 

The international WLE team is delighted to share that the 9th edition of Wiki Loves Earth is coming soon!

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photo contest devoted to nature heritage. WLE aims at raising public awareness about protected areas and creating the biggest database of free photos of them. After 8 years of local competitions all around the world, WLE resulted in more than 700k free photos of nature monuments, with around 160k being used in the wikiprojects. 

Are you interested in joining WLE by organizing your local contest? Do you have any questions about this process? The international Wiki Loves Earth team will answer your questions and tell you all the details you want to know about WLE during our online Q&A.

When: April 11 at 12 pm (UTC), the event will last about 1 hour.
