How wild animal trade causes the spread of diseases internationally?

Over the last 100 years, 2 viruses a year spillover from animals to humans. Wildlife markets and the legal and illegal trade of wildlife for pets, meat, or medicine increase transmission. the costs of preventing future zoonotic outbreaks like COVID-19 by preventing deforestation and regulating the wildlife trade are as little as $22 billion a year, 2% of the economic costs of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, which some economists predict could reach $10-20 trillion.
The land-use change such as development or agricultural expansion is the single largest driver of emerging diseases. As humans encroach deeper into the undisturbed forest, they are also exposing themselves to animals and the diseases they carry a process known as “virus spillover. Whether it is someone hunting for bushmeat or shopping at a wild animal and fish market, virus spillover can happen any place where there is wildlife, especially in the tropics. The risk becomes even higher when countries cut down forests to make room for roads, agriculture, or infrastructure. Just 10 percent of tropical forests hold more than half of the global risk for zoonotic disease emergence or ‘spillover’ from animals to humans.
Markets that sell wild animals are described by many scientists as hotbeds of disease and have likely been the origin of several zoonotic illnesses, including COVID-19 and the 2003 SARS outbreak. The wild animal trade puts species in contact with other species and other diseases that they likely would have never encountered naturally in the wild.
The first step for preventing this is banning the national and international trade of species that have a high risk of spreading diseases, such as bats and pangolins.
China announced in March 2020 a ban on wildlife trade and consumption for food, which could decrease demand for wild animal parts worldwide. But enforcement is just as crucial as the ban itself. At a global level, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) is responsible for monitoring the wildlife trade, but it has a net global budget of "a mere $6 million.
