Rules of the Post
Aside from horrific Jurassic Park scenarios, humans have learned hard lessons about introducing a species into a new environment. Think of the devastation when rabbits were brought to Australia.
I will admit that I would be interested in seeing a dodo or a woolly mammoth in a zoo. That despite my misgivings about keeping wild animals in captivity.
From company promotional website:
EXTINCTION IS A COLOSSAL PROBLEM FACING THE WORLD.
AND COLOSSAL IS THE COMPANY THAT’S GOING TO FIX IT.
Combining the science of genetics with the business of discovery, we endeavor to jumpstart nature’s ancestral heartbeat. To see the Woolly Mammoth thunder upon tundra once again. To advance the economies of biology and healing through genetics. To make humanity more human. And to reawaken the lost wilds of Earth. So we, and our planet, can breathe easier.
