The origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly due to the devastation and destruction of the planet. From the industrial revolution onwards, we, sapiens sapiens, have devastated more than 2/3 of the earth's surface for industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural production processes. Not only that, we have deforested the equivalent of the surface of the African continent for the intensive breeding of cattle and the production of red meat. All this has dramatically expanded social and environmental inequalities and injustices. The report by Sir Partha Dasgupta (the economics of biodiversity) and the study of Gilbert Simodon, which we comment on here, are a precious help in making us responsible for the seriousness of the 'ecological question.' Are we behaving like good ancestors? And most importantly, what kind of planet will we leave for generations to come?
