On Monday, April 7, the former North Dakota governor [Doug Burgum] applauded the efforts of the gene-editing technology on X.
"The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of 'de-extinction' technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species," read the post.
“The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist,” Burgum wrote. “We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of ‘de-extinction’ technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk.”
