• This will be the first participation of the Philippine community in Wiki Loves Earth and this effort is worth supporting. Philippine nature is not covered well enough on Commons, and other Southeast Asian countries (Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia etc.) already achieved good results in WLE. Having Biplab Anand from Nepal as a consultant is a big advantage— NickK (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
