Hi Community Fellows,
Just wanted to share this pic which was featured( is a WLM
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Birds_flying_to_their_home_during_the_…>
PIC) in Grants and Evaluation 100 words campaign here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/100_Words_Campaign> it
says:
-
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Birds_flying_to_their_home_during_the_…>
Birds flying to their home during the sunset
Reasoning: Birds are a great example of individuals who unite for the
benefit of the whole group so that together, they can have a successful
migration and easier flight. Scientists estimate that the whole flock “can
fly about 70% farther than they could individually without exerting any
extra energy...because flying together helps reduce wind resistance, while
also providing additional lift.”
Thanks for the Teamwork together to make this possible. Proud of what we
have achieved together.
Thanks,
Saroj
