About Lesson
The video explores the concept of de-extinction, a blend of reality and science fiction. While inspired by Jurassic Park, actual scientific progress has been slow but is advancing with gene-editing techniques. Reintroducing recently extinct species can help repair damaged ecosystems and restore biodiversity to disrupted habitats, offering hope for restoring nature’s balance.
Successful ecosystem repair stories, like the Channel Islands’ restoration, showcase the potential of de-extinction to bring back vanished species and rejuvenate our environment. The ethical debate surrounding de-extinction raises questions about guilt reversal, ecosystem repair, and the impact of human-induced extinctions on biodiversity.
