• Algeria is a long-term and successful Wiki Loves Earth participant with multiple photos in the international top-15. Their weakness in previous years was insufficient promotion of nationally and UNESCO-recognised natural heritage sites, thus focusing on this to ensure good coverage of major national sites is highly appreciated. Overall it's a solid project that deserves funding — NickK (talk) 12:07, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
