Do you have pictures of National parks of Wales, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sites of Special Scientific Interest or Natura 2000 areas stored on your computer since your last trip? You can use them in this Wiki Loves Earth contest. In addition to being seen by everyone, your pictures could be included in Wikipedia and may also be reused elsewhere than in Wikipedia eg in the Welsh illustrated dictionary Y Bywiadur. Photos may have been taken at any time. The key criterion to be eligible for the contest are that they are to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in June 2021... and that they have been taken by you, of course! You may upload as many as you please. Here is a list of all conservation areas in Wales. You can view the main international Wiki Loves Earth website here: http://www.wikilovesearth.org/ |
