The Covid-19 has impacted the entire world even the wildlife around the world.
However, the impact of Covid-19 on wild life conservation has been a conundrum for policy makers.

What’s needed?
International investment and efforts in conservation has to become a serious priority and that too fast..!!
The damage to biodiversity, dependent communities, the stability of protected regions, and overarching efforts to fight climate change should not be reversed.
We are barely surviving one zoonotic outbreak that has crippled the global economy, killed more than 4 million people and counting, if we don’t act now, we’ll be hurtling rapidly toward the next one.
