Three Stories this week:

1. New studies have embarked to assess the impact of the "Anthropause," the reduction of human activity due to COVID-19, on wildlife

2. The Trump Admin has approved an oil-leasing plan in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Oil

3. Eggs from the last two remaining female Northern White Rhinos (NWR) have been harvested to be fertilized with saved semen from the deceased, last, male NWR, in attempt to save this subspecies from extinction.
