Planet & The People


Mar 23, 2021

The emergence of a new pandemic is something that has impacted us all in varying degrees of hell. But where do pandemics come from? Where do they start and how are we responsible?

Can we call this year an ecological event?

From Measles, to Ebola to Sars to covid 19, Tom talks to Zoonotic disease specialist Dr David Redding, and Reader in Environmental governance, Dr Peter Jones, and finds out about the origins of disease and the correlation between environmental breakdown and the spread of pandemics.
