Ebola a wake up call for Ecohealth Alliance

Peter Daszak, President Ecohealth Alliance, in this short video reiterates on how Ebola was a wake up call for them and that their research at the Ecohealth alliance has shown that emergence of disease is a result of anthropogenic actions of man to the environment. Further he states that governments are more concerned about economics than conservation, but when conservation threats are packaged as economic threats then this triggers change, he gives an example of China closing down the wildlife market (which they did as a result of safeguarding health and not conservation per se).
