Option 1

 * Article title: Illegal logging
 * Article Evaluation: The article is extremely well put together and includes many different countries that deal with the issue. Unfortunately the article leaves out Central and South American countries that have been severally effected by illegal logging (such as Brazil and the Caribbean). They could also use more citations in the Indonesia section, maybe including information about the Sumatra Islands where illegal logging is extremely prominent. The talk page also mentions possibly including tree species that are frequently targeted.

Option 2

 * Article title: Lizard Island
 * Article Evaluation: Although the article is small, all relevant information is included. I did notice under the heading "Lizards" only one species is listed. I believe including more of the wildlife would be beneficial to the article, especially since the island is named for it's large population of lizards. The article is rated C class, Mid-Importance in the WikiProject: Protected Areas yet the talk page is relatively quiet.

Option 3

 * Article title: Bushfires in Australia
 * Article Evaluation: This article is well put together but has a few places where citations or more information are needed (Topography and 1980–1983 fires). Some sentences need to be reworded and include citations as they indicate bias, eg. "the 2019–2020 fires were the worst in Australian history". The sub section this quote came from, "2019-2020", could also improve with statistical/quantitative evidence such as that given in other sub headings.
