With growing human populations increasingly encroaching on wildlife habitats, with unprecedented changes in land use, with wildlife and livestock transported across countries and their products around the world, and with sharp increases in both domestic and international travel, pandemics of new diseases are a mathematical near certainty. This had been keeping Shi and many other researchers awake at night long before the mysterious samples landed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology on that ominous evening last December.

Daszak and his colleagues have analyzed approximately 500 human infectious diseases from the past century. They found that the emergence of new pathogens tends to happen in places where a dense population has been changing the landscape—by building roads and mines, cutting down forests and intensifying agriculture. “China is not the only hotspot,” he says, noting that other major emerging economies, such as India, Nigeria and Brazil, are also at great risk.

Indeed, and a very well written article.
I'd previously read an article on the dangers caused by changes in land use which this article adds to.

There really should be a societal reset process as a consequence of this virus that takes heed of such warnings, combining with the green movement for a more sustainable use of resources.

Sadly, this will not take place to any meaningful extent, the rush to pursue the illusionary magic of GDP growth will trample all over the calls for such a review.
