Biodiversity anticipated a “Super Year.” There were hopes for a new treaty on marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, as well as a new post-2020 global biodiversity framework to guide the future of nature protection. Back in 2019’s heady optimism, it seemed fine to take stock and look toward to a potentially momentous year. [2]
