Dear Ms. Sophia Lucero,

Warm greetings.

I recently came across the invitation to contribute to the 19th edition of the KBA Community Newsletter, and I would like to express my interest in sharing an article for the upcoming publication.

My proposed contribution focuses on a Ramsar Site of ecological importance, highlighting its biodiversity values, conservation significance, and recent community-based initiatives related to its management. I believe this piece would be a meaningful addition to the newsletter and of interest to the wider KBA Community.

Kindly keep me informed regarding the upcoming publication schedule or any additional guidelines for submission. I will prepare the article accordingly and ensure it aligns with the format and requirements mentioned in the announcement.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute and for your continued efforts in connecting the global KBA network.

With best regards,
