Pandemics are large-scale outbreaks of diseases that impact human populations. A new animal pathogen was detected in a rainforest area and believed to be the reason for a significant decline in the human population, after an outbreak. Figure 2 shows the impact of the pathogen on the human population in that country.

Discuss THREE ways in which human activities may have contributed to the spread of the animal pathogen.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
