Description: Saving Animals, Saving Ourselves : Why Animals Matter for Pandemics, Climate Change, and Other Catastrophes, Hardcover by Sebo, Jeff, ISBN 0190861010, ISBN-13 9780190861018, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "In 2020, COVID-19, the Australia bushfires, and other global threats served as vivid reminders that human and nonhuman fates are increasingly linked.
