Coronavirus has clocked humanity into the epitome of fear. Today, every being of this race is compelled to observe distancing from his fellow beings. Self-confinement has become the new normal while economies are experiencing the grief of their own tragic burials.
From HIV/AIDS to SARS, Ebola to Covid-19, all the life-threatening pandemics have emerged from wild animals. (Wild animals refer to undomesticated animals or those that cannot be tamed by humans by the protocol of nature).
Data from past pandemics suggests that there may be close to 1.67 million unknown viruses looming on the horizons worldwide, out of which approximately 0.8 million viruses emerging from animals, could potentially infect humans, thus causing new pandemics. Scientists have claimed 3 out of every 4 new infectious disease in people emerge from animals. [1]
Destructive human activities like deforestation for urbanization, hunting, poaching, wildlife skin trade, keeping wild animals in enclosures, etc. Have brought humans too close to wild animals & consequently closer to the viruses present in them.
The recent outbreak of the devastating coronavirus is known to have been emerged from bats. Whether outbroken from the wet markets of Wuhan or be it the result of a secret conspiracy, a virus cannot be synthetically produced in a lab. Its first sample always has to be taken from a wild animal.
To save humanity from recurring pandemics, it is imperative for mankind to practice 'Wildlife Distancing'.
‘Save Humanity’ is an initiative by Jyot, to make an appeal to the UN & the nation heads to formulate strict laws for implementing ‘Wildlife Distancing’. In order to save humanity from future pandemics. Join us in this relentless movement, sign this petition & do your bit to save humanity.
All these human activities have brought us in close contact with wild animals, making us more vulnerable to their viruses.

When the entire world is covered with the terror of COVID-19, I wish to convey insights for humanity as a whole, based on universal principles and spirituality propagated by all religions.
These Religions unanimously point out exploitative and unjust behavior, as the principal cause of grief and agony. Real peace, happiness, and security, all stem out from piousness. The abstract form of piousness is spirituality.
I wish that let the world in this stressed atmosphere be able to hold the breath and draw strength from spirituality.
