(2023·福建泉州期末)In the three decades since Darah Lady's grandmother first arrived in
this distant area of northern Brazil,clearing the forest by hand to build a house for her 14 children,
the family has pushed deeper and deeper into the Amazon.It has been driven by a saying that good
fortune comes when nature gives in to human control.
Their growing community there could ruin not only their children's future,but also that of the
entire planet.More global pandemics()are on the way,scientists say,and the next one is
likely to crop up from a community like Darah Lady's,where people are taking up more and more
space of the natural world and erasing the buffer zone()between themselves and habitats
that exists long.As people cut down forest,they not only speed up the global warming,but also
greatly increase their risk of exposure to disease.
Scientists also say diseases in hot zones are expanding from Africa to South America,and that
deforestation has already led to a rise in spreading disease.Zoologists have found that a third of all
known disease outbreaks around the world were due to rapid land use change.
Darah Lady's community of Maruaga is filled with risks for the spread of viruses()
Their family has already battled zoonotic illnesses-the term used to describe diseases spread
between animals and humans.
When 40%of a land area has been destroyed,according to Tom Gillespie,a university
researcher,the region hits a sort of tipping point:Wild animals are pushed closer to humans for
food,and viruses begin to spread.
Darah Lady seemed to notice the slight difference of deforestation."I get kind of sad,"Darah
Lady said,"because the forest is something I've loved since I was little.And they are deforesting,
right?It's destroying nature."
