Wiki Loves Earth 2020 starts!

The 8th year in a row Wiki Loves Earth photo contest starts to collect photos of nature heritage sites all around the world. Join us to draw attention to protected areas and help to illustrate wikiprojects!

Started in 2013, Wiki Loves Earth has grown to the biggest worldwide contest devoted to nature heritage. From nature reserves of Brazil to national parks of Indonesia — we collected more than half a million photos of natural monuments. During May — July of 2020, we continue creating the biggest database of free images of protected sites. Moreover, the contest helps to raise public awareness about unique natural areas around our planet.

This year 24 countries have already joined Wiki Loves Earth! (and the list is extending)

Check out our first countries that have just started their contest today: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Philippines, Nepal, Sweden, Sri Lanka, Taiwan.
