Conservation biologists are coming to terms with a new normal in the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic with disrupted food supply for animals, postponed fieldwork and training, and the possibility of reduced funding for research grants and conservation programs.
But amid the uncertainties, many continue to observe and monitor wildlife remotely, keep channels of communication with citizen scientists and students open, design online courses and prepare for the arrival of a new generation infusing hope and optimism for species conservation.
As India imposed the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) associated lockdown in March 2020, the world’s sole pygmy hog conservation breeding programme, Pygmy Hog Conservation Programme (PHCP), turned to home garden owners in Assam for produce to feed the animals, amid a fraying food supply chain.
The smallest among wild pigs, the shy and secretive pygmy hogs (Porcula salvania) are found nowhere else in India except in Assam.
The team is gearing up for the birth of piglets in mid-May and is taking good care of seven pregnant hogs and providing them extra food. The programme maintains about 72 hogs in captivity – 37 in the pre-release centre near Nameri National Park, 33 in Guwahati centre, two in Guwahati zoo.
Amid strict social distancing, the programme has ensured a steady food supply for the critically endangered species.
“For our Guwahati centre we tied up with the Guwahati zoo as they have a dedicated food supplier. This was possible due to the co-operation of divisional forest officer of the Assam State Zoo. At Nameri, we usually buy fruits and whatever we need from the villages but now they don’t have markets to sell, due to the lockdown, so they are selling their produce grown in home gardens directly to our centre in Nameri,” Parag Deka, project director, PHCP, told Mongabay-India.
“We have a sharp focus on biosecurity. When an outbreak occurs in animals it is difficult to contain, it is better to keep your animals healthy and build immunity,” noted Deka, adding that stocking food for the hogs is a protocol that the team has adopted from past experiences with undeclared shutdowns.
Acknowledging that funding will be an issue, Deka said they were recently informed by several organisations of continued funding support.

Explanation:
Answer:
The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity), was designated The International Day for Biological Diversity. In December 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IDB, to commemorate the adoption of the text of the Convention on 22 May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Agreed Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This was partly done because it was difficult for many countries to plan and carry out suitable celebrations for the date of 29 December, given the number of holidays that coincide around that time of year.
