And also we are announcing the *special nomination “Human rights and
environment”*![image: 🌍]
In 2023, Wiki Loves Earth international photo contest again supports the
initiative WikiForHumanRights, which partners with the Wikimedia Foundation
(WMF) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Its
goal is to raise awareness of nature protection and human impacts on
nature. When we protect the environment, we also protect the fundamental
human rights we all have — rights to water, life, food, housing, and other
fundamental rights that rely on a clean, healthy environment.
📸And this year, we accept photos not only from the countries where the
main contest is going but also from *the whole world*!
Technically, participants would be able to upload images through the
“wle-special” campaign.

images, examples of images, important notes, how to upload, etc: [image: 👉]
