In the Summer of 2011, Wikimedia UK and ARKive <http://www.arkive.org/> are
colloborating on a project to improve Wikipedia's coverage of threatened
species. This will involve recruiting a fixed-period in-residence role that
we are calling Wikipedia Outreach Ambassador. This will be a volunteer, with
access to desk space at ARKive's offices in Bristol and with travel and
subsistence supported by Wikimedia UK. Their role will require both on-wiki
activity and involving the wider community through online and offline
events. If you can attend meetings in Bristol, and are interested in both
wildlife and free knowledge, please visit the project page for further
details:
