"A view of Africa and Africans with a focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, practical remedies and other self sustaining activities.".....Emeka Okafor
Virus hunter Nathan Wolfe is outwitting the next pandemic by staying two steps ahead: discovering new, deadly viruses where they first emerge -- passing from animals to humans among poor subsistence hunters in Africa -- before they claim millions of lives.
He discusses the need for developing domesticated wild game,as a means of mitigating the effects of threatened wild game . Grasscutters(covered earlier) -- large grass-eating rodents that you find throughout West and Central Africa -- are easy to grow, non-endangered and tasty. They have the potential to provide livelihoods for rural populations. At the same time, they'll decrease hunting of wild animal populations, such as species of non-human primates.
