2020 was supposed to be a big year for nature,with several global climate conferences such as the UN Ocean Conference,IUCN W orld Conservation Congress 2020,UN Convention on Biological Diversity COP 15,and the meeting of Water and Climate Change set to chart a course for slowing climate breakdown and protecting biodiversity over the next decade.Even though most of these conferences have been postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19,the biodiversity crisis never observed a shutdown.
