Photos of the winners of the Wiki Loves Earth contest about the beauty of our planet

The Wiki Loves Earth photo contest celebrates its sixth anniversary this year. A few years earlier, it was conceived and established to create an archive of photographs of the unique corners of flora and fauna from around the planet that are under protection.

From year to year, the number of people interested in this exciting and archival project is growing, and the number of works submitted to the competition in 2018 reached a record high of 90 thousand shots. And recently, the panel of judges announced 15 works, which, in their opinion, in the best and most talented way reflected the extraordinary beauty and value of our planet. Let's take a look at them!
