But the rest of humanity is quite myopic and they cannot see why we should conserve wildlife without the humans gaining anything (read financially) from it. Humans and animals have equal rights to this earth - in my view - and none should commercialize the other. Those who came up with the rationale to see wildlife as an early warning system must have been driven by desperate observation of human myopia. The only good thing that comes out of this notion - as I see it - is that wildlife health will be monitored and there will be more investment in keeping wildlife wild.

It appears to me that we're again using non-human animals to better our own condition - monitoring them for infectious diseases - instead of realizing and treasuring them for _them_. Why must our respect for non-human animals always involve some benefit to human animals? s.

What really bothers me is that everyone agrees that saving tropical wildlife is a global priority but there's hardly any funding available for this. Europe and USA lost most of their mega fauna a while ago and more is spent there on saving a few endangered species than is spent on saving species that are yet to become endangered. I'm also a bit skeptical about using wildlife as a means of early warning for diseases ...there's hardly wildlife monitoring going on so how would we get that data? Great post Maina.
