The TIGRR lab in Melbourne has recently announced plans to use genetic material from an extinct animal – the thylacine or Tasmanian tiger – to bring this species back while some crime fighting organisations are investing in genetic technology that could bring back the woolly mammoth. Weird right? Antonia, Ellie and Laura discuss extinction, climate change, and habitat loss while also debating whether this genetic research is a good idea or whether efforts should focus on saving the species that are about to go extinct. Just why is the FBI investing in genetics research?
Ellie mentions the IUCN: the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Antonia mentions the IPCC: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Laura mentions COP26: the Conference of the Parties 26th annual climate change conference.
