We are delighted to be partnering with Ulster Wildlife Wiki Loves Earth 2025.
Ulster Wildlife aims to protect and restore nature on land and at sea. They strive to play their part in ending the climate and ecological emergencies, and advocate for a society where nature is valued and is part of our daily lives.
“Ulster Wildlife is excited to support the Wiki Loves Earth photo competition in collaboration with Wikimedia Community Ireland. This exciting initiative celebrates the beauty and biodiversity of natural areas across the island of Ireland. By encouraging people to capture and share images of these special places, we hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for nature and promote conservation efforts through the power of open knowledge and photography”
Ulster Wildlife’s purpose is to protect and restore nature on land and at sea. By working in partnership with local people, community groups, landowners, farmers and businesses they aim to ensure that at least 30% of land and seas are protected, connect and managed for nature by 2030.
The Ulster Trust for Nature Conservation was formed in 1978 by a group of naturalists who saw an urgent need to put wildlife protection on a firmer footing. From the acquisition of their first nature reserve in 1979, they now care for 19 wildlife havens across the country home to many species under threat, thanks to the support of almost 14,000 members and 100 volunteers.
