For more than 20 years, the biologist Peter Daszak has been on a quest to cut the negative pathological ties between humans and wildlife, with a particular focus on classes of viruses, including coronaviruses, that can move from animals to people. Daszak has been in the headlines since April, when the Trump administration abruptly cut funding for research his organization, EcoHealth Alliance, has been doing on coronaviruses in bats, in collaboration with a lab in Wuhan, China. He is joined in this Sustain What conversation by Angela Rasmussen, a Columbia University virologist focused on how emerging pathogens kill; Eliza Barclay, the editor for science, health and climate at Vox.com; and Jon Cohen, a longtime virus-focused journalist at Science Magazine. Your host is veteran environmental and disaster journalist and author Andy Revkin, who directs the Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at Columbia University's Earth Institute. https://lnkd.in/eRSHXgP More Sustain What episodes: https://lnkd.in/dse3P_P

What about the role of documentary filmmaking as a journalistic tool?
Our team is working with the EU and others through the COST Action on Biochar to address this. The EU is trying to bring together all the players across the spectrum.
Peter is absolutely correct. Climate change and zoonotic diseases and pandemics are connected.
