Abstract
The increasing instances of epidemics and pandemics of zoonotic origin—diseases maintained in animal populations but transmitted to humans—show that humanity is fundamentally off track with predator and scavenger conservation. We are off track because most diseases of pandemic potential are zoonotic, with natural reservoirs in predators and scavengers.1,2 Predators and scavengers, species that consume other animals either live or dead, also play a role in maintaining ecosystem structure and reducing zoonotic risk.
