The rate at which diseases jump from animals to humans ______ is increasing globally. ______ in the past almost all of these “zoonotic” outbreaks would have been local and short lived, it is easier for them to spread today. ______ of the natural environment, more livestock and wild animal farming and trading, urbanisation and associated high human ______, increased travel and a globalised world all lead to greater opportunities for the spread of diseases. Fingers may have been pointed at pangolins and bats for COVID - 19 but it is these ______ changes that are driving the problem.
