The tale of the pangolin

This song is a product of the 2020 worldwide Covid-19 epidemic that caught us all off-guard, leaving few of us untouched in some way. The debate and speculation over the source of the disease has necessarily opened up the 'Pandora's Box' issue that can no longer be ignored: is the rampant rape of wildlife species and biomes partly responsible for the surging release of  virulent viruses deadly to humans?

If so, nature's true justice for unchecked human behaviour. 
Some have said it's good news for the pangolin species, calling a halt to the barbaric trap-and-trade practice of these critically endangered animals. Time will tell. Us humans have much to answer for on this planet. The so-called "great pause" experienced during lockdown may well force critical reflection of our human habits; it literally gives pause to consider the choice of practicing restraint, on many levels.                    
       
This song is from the LifeCycle playlist.
