In Central America, scientists found a spike in malaria cases after the fungus arrived. As frogs died, there were fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae; more mosquitoes resulted in a fivefold increase in malaria cases: wapo.st/3LHtdAj (gift). We allow extinctions at our peril. 🌎
First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.
An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

It might be worth providing a little more background on what the NIH signature pandemic preparedness programs actually were, because everything in the article is false - e.g., none of the programs had anything to do with "dangerous gain-of-function" research.
A little more below.
