Faced with continued pandemic-related complications, a crucial meeting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/nature\/kunming-cop15-first-session-big-challenges-remain\/\">Convention on Biological Diversity<\/a> was delayed repeatedly. F\u00eated as a potential \u2018Paris moment\u2019 for the world\u2019s wildlife, and originally planned for 2020, the meeting is now set to take place in <a href=\"http:\/\/sdg.iisd.org\/events\/un-biodiversity-conference-cbd-cop-15-part-2\/\">spring 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biodiversity crisis is immense in scale and complexity. A seminal 2019 report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2019\/may\/06\/human-society-under-urgent-threat-loss-earth-natural-life-un-report\">warned<\/a> that the loss of healthy ecosystems and the wild fauna and flora within them is putting all human societies at risk. Yet unlike the phase out of fossil fuels use needed to fight climate change, there is no obvious path to turning the crisis around. A successful response will mean myriad interventions worldwide, targeted to specific local contexts and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Third Pole\u2019s biodiversity coverage in 2021 sought to shine a spotlight on some of these, as we explored the question: how can we protect and restore the ecosystems upon which we all depend in a way that is sustainable and just? Here we highlight some of our best biodiversity stories from 2021, as we looked for conservation models which could serve as inspiration \u2013 or valuable lessons \u2013 for governments and civil society across our region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lockdowns-bring-hardship-to-birders-paradise-in-india\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/nature\/bugun-liocichla-birders-paradise\/\">Lockdowns bring hardship to birders\u2019 paradise in India<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bugun-featured-image-scaled-e1626771531897.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bugun-featured-image-scaled-e1626771531897-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bugun-featured-image-scaled-e1626771531897-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bugun-featured-image-scaled-e1626771531897.jpg 2554w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2554px\" alt=\"Bugun liocichl\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Bugun liocichla (Image: Dombe Pradhan)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bugun-featured-image-scaled-e1626771531897.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"491 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1709\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2554\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this photo feature from July, journalist Nandini Velho spoke with bird guides and rangers at Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh, the only home of one of Asia\u2019s rarest and least-known birds, the Bugun liocichla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article found that while guides and others who depend on ecotourism have struggled with a sudden loss of income in the wake of Covid-related travel restrictions, protection of the sanctuary has proven mostly resilient throughout the pandemic, thanks to well-established patrols and local support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weaving-with-weeds-traditional-craft-helps-wetland-in-nepal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/livelihoods\/weaving-with-weeds-traditional-craft-helps-wetland-in-nepal\/\">Weaving with weeds: Traditional craft helps wetland in Nepal<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/55-year-old-Rudridevi-Sardar-making-a-mat-infront-of-her-home.-She-sustains-her-life-with-mat-making-business-using-wetland-materials-from-Koshi-Tappu-Wildlife-Reserve..jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/55-year-old-Rudridevi-Sardar-making-a-mat-infront-of-her-home.-She-sustains-her-life-with-mat-making-business-using-wetland-materials-from-Koshi-Tappu-Wildlife-Reserve.-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/55-year-old-Rudridevi-Sardar-making-a-mat-infront-of-her-home.-She-sustains-her-life-with-mat-making-business-using-wetland-materials-from-Koshi-Tappu-Wildlife-Reserve.-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/55-year-old-Rudridevi-Sardar-making-a-mat-infront-of-her-home.-She-sustains-her-life-with-mat-making-business-using-wetland-materials-from-Koshi-Tappu-Wildlife-Reserve..jpg 2500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2500px\" alt=\"55-year-old Rudridevi Sardar making a mat in front of her home.

Numbers of the white-rumped vulture fell by 99.9% in 15 years, the fastest recorded population crash of any bird species. The main culprit was diclofenac, a veterinary painkiller that is lethal to the scavengers when they feed upon deceased livestock treated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this story from October, Athar Parvaiz reported the discovery of a second vulture-safe drug. Experts hailed the development as \u201chugely significant\u201d, with potential to help deal with issues around slow pick-up among vets of meloxicam, a vulture-safe drug discovered in 2006, and persistent use of the now-banned diclofenac. The story serves as a reminder of the crucial role of engagement with stakeholders beyond the conservation community, to understand their needs and concerns and bring these into conservation design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interview-indigenous-led-conservation-in-nagaland-preserves-rare-wildlife\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/nature\/indigenous-led-conservation-in-nagaland-preserves-rare-wildlife\/\">Interview: Indigenous-led conservation in Nagaland preserves rare wildlife<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/on-our-way-to-place-camera-traps-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/on-our-way-to-place-camera-traps-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/on-our-way-to-place-camera-traps-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/on-our-way-to-place-camera-traps-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"The team from Thanamir village on the way to set up camera traps to monitor wildlife in the community forest, Ramya Nair\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">The team from Thanamir village hike through the community forest to set up camera traps that monitor wildlife (Image: Ramya Nair)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/on-our-way-to-place-camera-traps-scaled.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"1 MB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1920\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this interview from August, we spoke with researcher Ramya Nair, whose work is shining a light on how indigenous traditions and local management practices mean that rare wildlife is thriving outside formal national parks or sanctuaries in northeast India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramya explained that her research, conducted collaboratively with the people of Thanamir village in Nagaland, found an amazing abundance of wildlife in the area\u2019s community-owned forests, from clouded leopards and wild dogs to black bears.
