Care For Nature - To Stop Future Pandemics
TerraGreen
|March 2022
In this article, Monika Chhimwal says not only is the coronavirus existent in nature, but there are many more unknown and highly dangerous microbes that live peacefully in their niches, such as those found beneath glaciers and vast ice sheets in the polar area, as well as those found in the deep oceans. They will not come out unless their ecology undergoes significant changes. But, with the looming danger of climate change and global warming due to population growth and urbanization, these viruses could come into contact with humans and the results could be disastrous.
The extraordinary influence we humans are having on the globe is not only putting the environment in jeopardy, but also our own lives. According to scientists, our detrimental relationship with the environment puts us in danger of pandemic sickness. Nature loves us, but our irresponsible behaviour has enraged her, and the result is a pandemic that began in 2020 and continues for third year in a row.
We have seen an increase in pandemic emergence; we have had swine flu, SARS, and Ebola. When we looked back at every emerging disease and asked where it came from on the planet, we discovered that we’re responsible for every single pandemic and its human impact on the environment, which drives emerging diseases. Animals, like humans, have a variety of viruses that circulate throughout their systems, and one of the most obvious ways that make it more possible for a virus to leap is by coming in contact with these directly.
