COVID CLIMATE CONFLICT CONSERVATION
The pandemic put
us on a roller coaster:
New vaccines spurred
optimism, but misinfor-
mation and shortages
plagued immunizations.
As daily routines began
to return, the virus still
haunted them.
Disputes about
culture, politics, bor-

around the world. The

threatened species,
protect oceans, and
preserve historic places.
