"The Conservancy has built an interactive community of people who love nature photography," said Evan Parker, the Conservancy's manager of digital membership. "It's a place to be inspired, and to inspire others."

Initially launched as an entry point for the Conservancy's first annual photo contest, the site has blossomed, now engaging a community of thousands of nature-lovers around the world. Nature.org/flickr now hosts more than 100,000 nature photos--and it only takes a minute to upload your favorite nature image.

In addition to sharing images with others, group members can enter the Conservancy's annual photo contest, help vote to select the annual contest's grand prize winner and, throughout the year, enter mini-competitions which include publication in the award-winning Nature Conservancy magazine. The next challenge, Oceans and Seas, closes in just a few weeks, so submit your ocean, coral reef and marine life images by December 11, 2008.

For more details, please visit nature.org/flickr.
