Ep 24: ORIGIN OF THE CORONAVIRUS: Understanding Ecological Niches, Zoonotic Diseases and How Humans Cause Epidemics
Update: 2020-03-25
Description
Nature is indeed sending us a message. Our response to that message is going to shape humanity. In this Wild Roots episode with renowned science writer/author, David Quammen we talk about the nature of zoonotic diseases, ecology and how human activity is ultimately the cause for epidemics which threatens us all. We also talk about the importance of not demonizing wildlife, protecting biodiversity, the harms of the wildlife trade and more.
We are all in this together. And we are the ones who caused it.
Hoping all of my listeners are well and safe.
