Dr Jane Goodall on coronavirus: We brought this on ourselves from our disrespect of nature! (E879)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to world-famous primatologist and conservationist Dr Jane Goodall. She discusses how coronavirus has been brought about by our disrespect of the natural world and animals, how poverty is at the center of tackling climate change, stopping future pandemics and deforestation, how deforestation is increasing the number of zoonotic diseases, the effectiveness of animal experimentation for developing vaccines, capitalism’s role in climate change and the destruction of forests, how individual action through boycotting companies can force change, and more!
