Wiki Loves Earth Guinea-Bissau 2019

Wiki Loves Earth Guinea-Bissau 2019 is a joint organization of the Orango Parque Hotel, at the Orango National Park, Wikimedia Portugal and Wiki Movimento Brasil, and part of the Guinea-Bissau Wikimedia project

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural heritage sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. There are a lot of natural heritage sites in all participating countries. The goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those natural sites, and to put them under a free license so that others may access them through the Internet. This is the first time Guinea-Bissau will be participating in the contest. You can find here the full list of protected areas in Guiné-Bissau.
