Congratulations to the winners. Phrase like "the last day on earth"
wherenever we talk about climate changed should be condemned. We saw it
with Covid-19 that fear tactics does not help anyone. We should raise
awareness about climate change without using fear testics. It for this
reasons people see climate change as proganda or global agender for world
oder.
Climate disinformation should be condemned. There is not evidence that
shows the world will end because of climate change. By the way, the climate
has changed over the decades as part of the natural process, drought,
heatwaves, cyclones, floods are not new. They have happened before and they
will continue to happen. The world won't end because of climate change
people and nature will adapt to new weather patterns.

Dear all,
We ran a Wiki Loves Africa in South Africa 2023 photograph competition
"Wiki Loves Africa'' is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can
contribute media that relates to that year's theme to Wikimedia Commons
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikimedia_Commons> for use on Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipedia>and other project websites of
the Wikimedia Foundation. Wiki Loves Africa encourages participants to
contribute media (photographs, video, and audio) that illustrate the
specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes. Each year's
theme is chosen by the community to be a universal, visually-rich, and
culturally-specific topic (for example, markets, rites of passage,
festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life,
notable persons, etc). Participants were encouraged to submit photos
of' Climate
and Weather
