HIV has reached pandemic status in the human race, and Nathan Wolfe is trying to prevent it from happening with other viruses.
The HIV virus was transferred into the human population by bushmeat hunters from the primates that they eat. Nathan Wolfe is trying to track HIV and other new viruses that can easily become pandemics by having the bushmeat hunters take blood samples from their kills and take atleast a basic safety course on prevention of zoonotic viruses. Wolfe and his team have had to overcome many diffuclties pertaining to this direction. He is now trying to spread this objective all over the world so we can prevent the decimation of species.
I think that Wolfe is fantastic and should continue his work. He is working towards saving billions of species, not just the human race. He's trying to save all kinds, and I honor him for that.
