Book Summary

Fevered Planet: How Diseases Emerge When We Harm Nature by John Vidal is a timely and urgent non-fiction investigation into the link between environmental destruction and the increasing threat of infectious diseases. Vidal argues that human activities — such as deforestation, intensive farming, fossil fuel use, habitat destruction, and global travel — are creating the ideal conditions for diseases to emerge and spread rapidly. From COVID-19 and Ebola to bird flu, HIV/AIDS, and mpox, the book shows how ecological damage disrupts natural systems, bringing humans into closer contact with wildlife and new pathogens. Drawing on scientific research and decades of reporting from over 100 countries, the author illustrates that pandemics are not random events but are connected to the way we treat nature. Ultimately, Vidal calls for an urgent transformation in how societies relate to the natural world to reduce the risk of future global health crises and protect both planetary and human health.

About the Author 

John Vidal was a distinguished British environmental journalist best known for his long career as Environment Editor at The Guardian, where he reported for nearly thirty years on climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and the global impacts of environmental degradation. Throughout his career, Vidal travelled widely — often reporting from more than 100 countries — to document how ecological issues affect societies and public health. His work combined rigorous investigation with compelling narrative, helping readers understand complex global challenges through real-world examples. Fevered Planet reflects his deep expertise and commitment to highlighting the urgent connections between environmental damage and emerging diseases. Vidal’s writing is grounded in decades of frontline observation and strives to inspire a rethinking of our relationship with nature to safeguard future generations.
