Thank you for the quick biology and history lessons.
Awareness for a socially worthy cause is always a good thing, I think. Here in Southern Maryland we have a great bounty of large birds, including eagles, hawks and ugly turkey vultures. Some rare pileated woodpeckers also, quite noisy! If you're not sure if you have an eagle, hawk or other large bird; just look under a likely roosting tree and see if the shrubs and groundcover have white splatters.
You should read up on Charles Campbell who eradicated Malaria through natural means by spending minimal amounts of money start up.. and profitted from it afterwards.
Bat roosts (nests).. Some still stand to this day and his story is pretty funny. He first built one and placed them in.. they all flew away and nested in an abandoned house. He redesigned them and got them to stay. He also harvested the guano for agricultural purposes.
True. Dr. Campbell was excellent. It's not that we are unaware of his work, after all he won a Nobel Prize for it, it's just that it might not fly in today's modern times, no pun intended. Thanks for an awesome additional piece of information, and for having watched!
We have, it's not the cost or efficacy, it's convincing administrations and governments that it's a truly effective resource in fighting the disease. We agree with you, it's just difficult to implement.
The main objection would be invasive species to protect native species. They have tons of mountainous caves which are being exploited for mining operations. I'm not against them making money.. just not compensating the local bat population fleeing in utter fear w/o proper housing. Sounds a bit odd, but I can gaurantee malaria cases increased factoring 1 bat can eat 500 - 1K insects / day. Check out batcon on google
Bill & Melinda gates foundation spends billions on nets & meds.. why not bats?
Good points! We agree. The hard part is taking them by the ears and brain and making the concept obvious to them. Natural control is not only more desirable, it's always the best remedy. Thanks again!
For 2005 alone they spent $750 million on meds. Reasoning I favor bats is one investment in a bat house for a year of guano can make enough money to build another one. Sorta like spreading like cancer.. Yet, A good one. If my memory is right he harvested a ton of guano / yr.
1 lb @ $10 x 2000 = $20,000 retail.
So in reality it would be $6K - $10K sold to distributor. So overall this would reduce poverty while combating malaria. $600 per capita is avg in Africa.
Exactly. DDT is hugely dangerous, destructive and entirely useless in controlling mosquitoes. The mosquito varieties that can spread Malaria are immune to DDT anyway. htww is a complete idiot and has no business attempting to explain anything. He should stick to the thing he does best, lying.
I can guarantee you that if there was a big outbreak of malaria in any modern, developed country, the ban on DDT would be lifted.

Fresh bird shit is easy to identify!

I don't agree with you considering how much guano costs.. seriously check it out.

Yes, it's a great solution, we agree.

Let him use DDT in his own areas.
I would watch one of his videos, but I like my monitor to not have a hole in it.

hey, if how the dweeb dweebs wants to use ddt, let him start in his mommy's backyard.
after ddt was banned, the American Eagle slowly came back, hawks and raptors now soar through American skies. use ddt on conservatards.

What organization would best utilize a donation to fight malaria?

These guys have our vote of approval:
African research centers partner with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative
Bill Gates gave the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative a big boost initially, and continues to be highly supportive of their research towards a vaccine.
Thanks!
