Or, if a species is reintroduced into an environment with disease for which it has no immunity, the reintroduced species could be wiped out by a disease that current species can survive. De-extinction is a very expensive process. Bringing back one species can cost millions of dollars.
Animals like the woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger may be revived thanks to advances in gene editing technology, but critics say this burgeoning science is a distraction from the real work of ...
Colossal Biosciences, which aims to revive extinct species, has raised an additional $200 million. Critics say de-extinction in its purest sense isn’t possible. ... She said bringing back ...
A de-extinction company is currently in the works to “bring back” traits of extinct animals. ... to live in a world where scientists are able to essentially bring back prehistoric species ...
The Pyrenean ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica) is an Iberian ibex subspecies with the unfortunate distinction of being the first animal to go extinct twice. Endemic to the Pyrenees and Cantabrian Mountains, this ibex was driven to extinction by the year 2000 due to competition with livestock and introduced wild ungulates and following the death of Celia, the endling of the subspecies.
The dodo’s extinction was brought about in large part by the introduction of cats and rats as invasive species that raided the birds’ nests and saw the Mauritius biosphere destabilized.
The revival of the woolly mammoth is a proposed hypothetical that frozen soft-tissue remains and DNA from extinct woolly mammoths could be a means of regenerating the species. Several methods have been proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning, artificial insemination, and genome editing. Whether or not it is ethical to create a live ...
The tools and techniques developed for every effort to bring a species back from extinction will also benefit closely related species that still live. The woolly mammoth project, for instance, has ...
