Part One of the United Nations’ Biodiversity Conference is taking place this week in the city of Kunming in the country identified as the world’s largest polluter, the People’s Republic of China.

Coming shortly before the United Nations’ scheduled Climate Change conference, the meeting takes place at a time when extinction rates among animals are significantly elevated as a result of human activity.
