Where do infectious diseases emerge?

Did you know that wildlife also experience stress? Bushmeat hunting for consumption pushes several terrestrial or land-based mammal species to the brink of extinction while agitating hunted animals.

Hunting is common in developing countries across Southeast Asia, South America and Africa. Traditional medicine, pet trade and ornamental use of animal body parts were also some of the reasons wildlife and other biodiversity are hunted and collected. Live trade for the pet industry and ornamental use of wild animals primarily occur in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
