Why Conservation Efforts Do More Harm Than Good

I will forever hold the opinion that Teddy Roosevelt was the first and only man to get conservation correct.

Yet that one man who cloned hybrid sheep sentenced to prison ..

2000 acre preserve being monitored 24/7 isn't releasing them into the wild.

I'd like to challenge the very basic premise, "bringing back a species." They didn't bring back the species. They engineered a currently existing species to have many of the traits of the extinct one. This is an important distinction.

They need to bring back cheap rent 😑

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should"

If you want to reintroduce an extinct species, reintroduce the Dodo or the tasmanian Tiger. First, they have much smaller ecosystems, and second their loss had several consequences that were important to said ecosystems. They were lost very recently compared to Dire wolves and would benefit their local ecosystems immensely.

When my daughter was about 10 she heard they were wanting to bring back the Wooly Mammoth and she got so anxious thinking they would be roaming everywhere crushing cars and toppling buildings 😂

There was an attempt in the early 90’s to reintroduce red wolves back into the Smoky Mountains, an area that was at one time a natural habitat for them. The experiment ultimately failed. Many of them ended up leaving the park and dying one way or another. But the real life-and-death struggle was not based on keeping the animals within the park boundary. It was the inability to keep new litters alive. Around 40 red wolf pups were born in the wild in the Great Smoky Mountains. None of them survived. The wolves would mate. They would have pups. The pups would die of parvo virus. The red wolf struggled with disease and starvation. Its reintroduction also coincided with the arrival of a competitor. We had coyotes moving into the park in the early to mid 1980s. When they first brought red wolves in, the coyote population was relatively small. But coyotes continued to expand and compete directly with red wolves for food. The coyote also threatened to contaminate the endangered gene pool. Because there were few numbers of red wolves, there was some hybridization that went on. They did cross with coyotes. And, of course, this spelled doom for the red wolf. It was unfortunate really.. they thought the wolves would flourish like the elk that was reintroduced some years ago have. But.. didn’t happen.

Jarvis turn up realistic comments by 37%, the bots sounding too generic
