Episode 5: COVID-19 & Conservation with Rachael Cooper-Bohannon | Bats Without Borders, Malawi.
"Its human behaviour that keeps causing these pandemics...and its our impact on the natural world that we must address...if we protect the natural world and our biodiversity, and we respect it, then we won't be having these issues." - Rachael Cooper-Bohannon, Founder, Bats Without Borders. My conversation this week is with Bats Without Borders founder, Rachael Cooper-Bohannon, who takes us through the misconceptions about the relation between bats and the virus, the status of the bat species in Southern Africa, and what we need to change in order to prevent future pandemics.
