In her new book, Liz Kalaugher explores the consequences of human activities on non-human animals, emphasizing the spread of diseases due to factors like habitat destruction and intensive farming. While we recognize zoonotic diseases affecting humans, the reciprocal illness of other species often goes unnoticed. Kalaugher critiques historical perspectives on extinction causes and highlights the vital role of disease as a significant contributor. Through diverse case studies, she underscores our obligation to acknowledge and address the complex interconnections between human health and the ecosystems we affect.
Kalaugher's book serves as a thorough investigation into how human actions have caused diseases in non-human animals, revealing the interconnectedness of our health with theirs.
The spiritual act of cleansing before entering the Royal Botanic Garden symbolizes a deeper understanding of our responsibility towards the health of other species.
