For more on this topic, check out our full series, The Bat Lands. We used data to identify the parts of the world where the risk is highest of bat viruses spilling over to humans.
Here's a story about India's efforts to keep bat viruses from infecting people. It illuminates the debate engaging global negotiators who meet next week to continue work on a treaty aimed at improving pandemic prevention and response. via @SpecialReports.

One of the Reuters data team's most ambitious analyses of all time: We found >9 million sq km on Earth ripe for bat viruses to spill over, potentially causing a new global health pandemic. Data wizardry by @McNeill_Tweets and @allisonmartell
