Monitor's Chris Shepherd says shutting down the illegal wild meat trade should be made an international priority. FMTNews Covid19 Wuhan China
PETALING JAYA: A wildlife conservation group says the Covid-19 outbreak which has claimed over 4,000 lives and infected hundreds of thousands worldwide should serve as a wake-up call to the dangers of wildlife trade and consumption.
Beijing has since banned the selling and eating of wild animals to fight the spread of the virus, also known as the coronavirus. Monitor had said in the past that based on its research, the illegal trafficking of wildlife in Malaysia is rampant. According to the BBC, scientists say a range of wild animal species could be the host, in particular bats, “which harbour a large number of different coronaviruses”. The disease has also been found in pangolins.
