The 13th Conference of Parties to the Convention of Migratory Species and Wild Animals is currently underway in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Also referred to as COP13, the conference was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday via video conferencing. Conservation of Migratory Species, the inaugural day of COP13 also saw India officially taking over its Presidency for the next three years, till 2023.
