Every year @third_pole does a "best of" list.
It is tough, because we do everything by consensus, and there are so many good stories that we fight like cats in a sack.
This year we begin with @joydeepgupta on physical distancing, poverty and Covid-19: https://www.thethirdpole.net/2020/12/21/best-of-2020-social-distancing-a-cruel-joke-for-slum-dwellers/

The second of our best of 2020 is this beautiful and harrowing photo story by @ri_montu of the Jaladash, an impoverished community in Bangladesh, struggling against the rising sea and a distant state bureaucracy: https://www.thethirdpole.net/2020/12/22/best-of-2020-the-forgotten-fishers-of-bangladesh/
Our most read story, I think, this year was this one by @rinasaeed on an interesting strategy by some in Pakistan to deal with the locust menace (in India we went with only massive use of pesticides) https://www.thethirdpole.net/2020/12/23/best-of-2020-pakistan-turns-locust-threat-into-chicken-feed/
Fourth in our list is this video story from Nepal, of drying springs, thirsty villages, and climate migrants with no place left to call home: https://www.thethirdpole.net/2020/12/24/best-of-2020-climate-migrants-in-the-shadow-of-everest/
