Abstract
A pandemic is a human medical problem but must be understood at multiple levels. Analysis of social and commercial forces is vital; and, more comprehensively, an ecological framework is necessary for an inclusive picture. Ecological health webworked with political and social determinants surrounds issues of human health. In this constellation of both natural and social factors, ethical concerns will arise at these multiple levels, from human health to the conservation and health of wild nature.
