Can the cost of the environmental impact that triggers a pandemic be calculated?

Abstract

"No one is going to stop this train!", Mr. Cole warned the Lone Ranger. This is how Harari recounts the unstoppable nature of Western development parting from the synergy of science-industry-capitalism. There is no way to dodge the human-nature interaction. Humans impact the natural world and the natural world impacts us by pauperizing ecosystem services and generating a kind of antibodies that are zoonosis. The academy of homo sapiens developed numerous methodologies to express the value of the environment, the ecosystems, the ecosystemic services, etc. this work, using the Total economic value (VET) as framework, discusses the values of forested ecosystems based on their ability to harbor viruses or any other zoonotic threat to the subsistence
of Homo sapiens. The sapiens transcended their biological base. Do we want to become dissatisfied gods who don't know what they want? Meanwhile, the habitats are destroyed and cole's train proceeds out of control with uncertain fate, causing bats, viruses and spores to be left without shelter and turning zoonotic threats into reality.
