Team of three people — Wikimedians, photographers, environmental specialists put their efforts into rating all the submitted images and choose the most illustrative ones.
- Ananya Mondal (India) — a veteran Wikimedian, hobbyist nature photographer and conservationist. Passionate about exploring the wild, she is also fond of forest surveys, rock climbing and Himalayan trekking. Her deep love for photographing butterflies inspired her to initiate and successfully lead Wiki Loves Butterfly. Widely recognized as the “Butterfly Wikimedian,” Ananya received the Wikimedian of the Year 2021 – Rich Media Award. She also serves as a member of the organizing teams for Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) India and Bangla WikiMoitree.
- Juliana Almeida (Portugal) — integrates UNEP’s Law Division as an Environmental Law Specialist. She is currently working with matters related to human rights, the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, future generations, and building judicial capacity for the environment. She has previously worked in the European Parliament and the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union in environmental matters. She has a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Laws in International and European Law from the Nova University of Lisbon, as well as a post-grad in Environmental Law.
- Susanna Ånäs (Finland) — a coordinator by practice and an artist, photographer, and documentarist at heart. Having joined the Wikimedia movement in 2012, she now runs the AvoinGLAM group in Helsinki, Finland, promoting open access to cultural heritage. The group likes to interpret GLAM as Global Languages, Art, and Memory instead of the institutional Galleries, Libraries, and Museums. The focus of the work is on urgent and important issues and bringing people together from across domain boundaries to work and learn together on them in case studies, experiments, or events like the co-creation “hackathon” Hack4OpenGLAM. Susanna has organized Wiki Loves Monuments in Finland three times. She wishes to explore and promote ways in which open culture advocates can make a positive impact on vulnerable and threatened cultural heritage or secure environmental sustainability.
The final results of this category will be announced pretty soon!
