Summary

There is not one person in the world that hasn't been affected in some way by the Coronavirus, global pandemic . We have lost trillions in GDP, it has taken precious lives and we have lived in isolation away from our loved ones. The long-term ramifications are still not clear. I talked with Dr Marc Valitutto, a scientist and conservationist from Eco Health Alliance and Lynn Mento CEO, at Conservation Nation about our project One Health. We discussed the role and study of animals, how saving wildlife is saving humans and how conservation intersects with human health and population. Spoiler alert, we talked a lot about bats and rats AND why the pangolin is the most trafficked mammal!
