Focus theme
Asia is a very large region! It has the largest land area in the world, as well as maritime space in which many islands are located. It is not easy to understand the rich diversity of the natural and cultural aspects of this huge area. For Wikipedia Asian Month, we hope to select a focus theme for each year's campaign and encourage participants to get to know more about one aspect of this area. Please join and propose the theme you wish to introduce to the world the most!
