It is inspiring that such events will be carried out and executed successfully also their impact on highlighting the problems on natural heritage protection is one major step in preserving the countries heritage and maintaining them.
every chapter should carry the tradition forward what Wikimedia Ukraine is looking forward to.

Noise. Troll. Cease and desist, unless you have something positive to contribute.

fyi, since you don't seem to have the time to regularly follow Wikimedia activities in India, many Wikimedians took part in the global Wikimedia Loves Monuments event, without any funding offers, with terrific results (that's a bonus, the participation was the prize). If you have ideas for some other kind of event, without necessarily copycatting Ukraine, please do come forward.

PS what is a rd nose? Don't bother to reply, unless it is in abbrvtns, I don't need to hit the delete button so often.

FYI,
Wikimedia Ukraine is initiating a new photo contest – “Wiki Loves Earth”, its goal being collecting pictures of Ukraine Natural Heritage sites and Landscape and Ornamental Gardening objects for illustrating articles in the worldwide free Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia.
Everybody can take part in the competition. A registration on Wikimedia Commons (one of many Wikipedia sister projects) is required. You are to find in the list of natural heritage objects the ones you know of, take a picture of them yourself (it could be done anytime, previously or starting now) and upload them to Commons (during April 15 – May 15, 2013). The authors of the best pictures will be awarded with prizes. The results announcement and the awarding ceremony will be held in Kyiv, on June 5, 2013, on the World Environment Day.
The Organizational Committee has already started preparation work on the competition list, and almost 8 000 of entries are to be included there. Nature reserves, landscape parks, protected areas, natural heritage sites, botanical (dendrological), zoological gardens and parks, and ornamenting gardening objects will be in the list.
Yuri Perohanych, Wikimedia Ukraine Executive Director, said that this photo contest will draw the society’s attention to the existing problems of Ukraine natural heritage protection, and the contest itself is to show the perspectives of green/eco tourism in Ukraine.
As Yevhen Buket, the contest coordinator, pointed out, the idea to initiate such a competition has arisen after conducting a successful international photo contest Wiki Loves Monuments in Ukraine this September. The goal of the contest was collecting pictures of cultural heritage monuments of Ukraine.
Wikimedia Ukraine invited Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, environmental organizations, as well as donors and sponsors, to help with the organization of the competition and contribute to the contest prize fund.
