truththeory--2020-03-28--Blame Humans For Coronavirus Crisis, Not Animals, Says U.N Environment Boss

Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme Inger Andersen says the loss of wild animal environments is a major contributing factor in the coronavirus crisis .
The ever-increasing contact between wild animals and humans is proving to be a lethal cocktail in the spread of deadly diseases .
Global heating and the desecration of the natural world for farming , mining , and housing is causing animal habitats to shrink .
Its driving animals into closer contact with people .
“ Never before have so many opportunities existed for pathogens to pass from wild and domestic animals to people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Guardian .
Read more : Wild Animals Are Being Spotted Braving City Streets Along with the destruction of wild animals ’ natural habitat , live animal markets are another big problem .
The origin of the coronavirus is widely believed to be from bats in an animal market in Wuhan , China .
Andrew Cunningham , Professor of Wildlife Epidemiology at the Zoological Society of London , has no doubt that humans are to blame .
“ The underlying causes of zoonotic spillover from bats or from other wild species have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be human behavior , ” he told CNN .
“ Human activities are causing this .
“ It would allow infections to increase and to be excreted to be shed , ” he explained .
“ You can think of it like if people are stressed and have the cold sore virus , they will get a cold sore .
That is the virus being ‘ expressed.
’ This can happen in bats too.
” Cunningham went on to say that the “ culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple of decades , there has been an increasing number of new diseases .
Ebola , Sars , bird flu , Mers , Zika virus , Rift Valley fever and the West Nile virus are some of the diseases which have jumped from animals to humans .
As Global warming increases , environmental disasters are commonplace , such as the recent Australian wildfires and locust invasions in Kenya .
And as the population rises , there is the potential for things to only get worse .
A new approach , a ‘ reset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for , is surely needed .
“ Nature is sending us a message , ” Anderson said .
“ There are too many pressures at the same time on our natural systems and something has to give .

And as we hurtle towards a population of 10 billion people on this planet , we need to go into this future armed with nature as our strongest ally.

Animal stress increases the problem
Andrew Cunningham, Professor of Wildlife Epidemiology at the Zoological Society of London, has no doubt that humans are to blame.
“The underlying causes of zoonotic spillover from bats or from other wild species have almost always – always – been shown to be human behavior,” he told CNN. “Human activities are causing this.
“It would allow infections to increase and to be excreted to be shed,” he explained. “You can think of it like if people are stressed and have the cold sore virus, they will get a cold sore. That is the virus being ‘expressed.’ This can happen in bats too.”
Cunningham went on to say that the “culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a timebomb.”
Coronavirus crisis warning signs were there
In the past couple of decades, there has been an increasing number of new diseases.
Ebola, Sars, bird flu, Mers, Zika virus, Rift Valley fever and the West Nile virus are some of the diseases which have jumped from animals to humans.
Nature sending a message
As Global warming increases, environmental disasters are commonplace, such as the recent Australian wildfires and locust invasions in Kenya.
And as the population rises, there is the potential for things to only get worse.
A new approach, a ‘reset’ as many people have been calling for, is surely needed.
“Nature is sending us a message,” Anderson said.

“If we don’t take care of nature, we can’t take care of ourselves. And as we hurtle towards a population of 10 billion people on this planet, we need to go into this future armed with nature as our strongest ally.”
Change is our only hope
Previous diseases such as Sars and Ebola did not spread as potently as the coronavirus, which has left a large portion of the world under lockdown. It has also sent the global economy crashing.
“We cannot go back to business as usual,” Cunningham warned.
“Our long-term response must tackle habitat and biodiversity loss,” Anderson pleaded.

Costco strikes back at hoarders refusing to accept their return of toilet paper stocks. Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, a huge number of Americans selfishly, and unnecessarily, stocked up on toilet paper, food, and water. Due to this hoarding, a crisis is now being felt for such commodities. Older people are experiencing the most trouble with this mess. But now, as the hoarders are realizing their mistake, Costco refuses to accept their returns.
The internet has praised the doctors, medical staff, grocery store clerks and other essential service providers for their efforts in the time of the COVID -19 situation. But they know whom to shame – the hoarders. They caused a crisis for many needy people just for their selfishness.

As Australia slowly tries to recover in the aftermath of deadly bushfires , there ’ s some good news in that a number of rescued koalas have been released back into the wild .

It’s hoped that these koalas may also be able to discover groups of surviving koalas.
How it all started – Australia’s Black Summer
In what has been called the Black Summer, fires raged across most parts of Australia from June 2019 right through to March 2020.
An estimated 186 000 square kilometers were burnt and nearly 6000 building were destroyed. At least 34 people were killed and an estimated one billion animals lost their lives.
The state of New South Wales on the east coast was particularly badly hit. It’s widely believed that as many as 10 000 koalas died.
That is nearly a third of the koala numbers in the state – which was last estimated to be around 36 000. The entire Australian koala population is thought to be around 80 000.
And with 30% of their natural habitat destroyed by the fires, the koala is effectively now in danger of extinction in New South Wales.
“It’s brought forward a 2050 extinction projected timeline for most of the populations across the state by years,” said WWF conservation scientist, Dr Stuart Blanch.
This makes the news of the rescued koalas being returned to the wild especially heart-warming and important.

So her neighbours decided instead to give the paramedic a personal send off.
It was a very touching moment for the 22-year-old Tayla and her whole family.
“It was overwhelming for all of us,” said Tayla’s mom, Ali.
“Tayla just couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that people would even notice what she’s doing. She just loves her job.
“I had no idea the whole street would come out. I just thought it might be our next door neighbours and the house opposite. What I didn’t realise was that every single house had at least one person come out to clap her.
“It carried on all the way up our street and you could hear them clapping all the way up the next street too.
“You’ve got more time for people and appreciate them more now. It brings you closer.”
Ali’s closing words were particularly poignant. Despite the fear and panic the coronavirus has brought, there have been many heart-warming stories such as these where people are showing solidarity and support for one another.
