Depleting biodiversity and global viruses

In these challenging times its important to find out why we are having a global pandemic, our natural world is depleting and humans and wildlife are becoming entwined in desperate environments.
I have found a number of articles relating to serious viruses jumping from animals to humans.

The Backstory of Covid 19

Biodiversity loses the real costs

I look at how wet markets run in China, the government has since banned these markets. The problem off cause is due to poverty people have been taking wild animals from the natural world and keeping them in poor conditions creating the new virus covid-19.

“We invade tropical forests and other wild landscapes, which harbour so many species of animals and plants – and within those creatures, so many unknown viruses,” David Quammen, author of Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Pandemic, recently wrote in the New York Times. “We cut the trees; we kill the animals or cage them and send them to markets. We disrupt ecosystems, and we shake viruses loose from their natural hosts. When that happens, they need a new host. Often, we are it.”

The reasons for why wet markets are creating new viruses can be explained in the short documentary below.
