[edit]- Wildlife Photography is in boom now because of Social Media exposure. But when it comes to Wikimedia Commons, many photographers don't contribute here. This viod particularly seen in the field of herpetology. There are not many good photos of uncommon and rarely seen species of snakes, frogs etc on Wikimedia Commons. I want to design small projects based on season, geographic area with Wikimedians from that area to fill the viod.
