Answer 1

Anthropogenic activities led to the spread of animal-borne diseases

According to John Muir, everything in the universe is connected. The same goes for Corona.

• Men have interrupted the natural habitat of animals and birds by destroying them in the form of deforestation etc.

• This has resulted in animal migration which has caused adverse effects on their health as well.

• Since their displacement has led to more human-animal interaction due to which their diseases are transferred to humans.

• It is predicted that more animal-borne diseases are expected to spread in the coming years due to increased human activities.
