Prevention and Reversal of Species Extinction
This book is a summary of “Resurrection Science: Conservation, De-Extinction and the Precarious Future of Wild Things, ” by M. R. O’Connor.
Many species are threatened with extinction because of anthropogenic global warming, degraded habitats, overexploitation, disease, and invasive species. In Resurrection Science, journalist M. R. O’Connor introduces us to renowned scientists who try to use expensive, high-tech, and often controversial efforts to save endangered and even extinct species. Each chapter focuses on a unique species like the northern white rhinoceros, the passenger pigeons, and the Tanzanian rainforest spray toads, incorporating their natural history and evolutionary biology and raising many ethical, environmental, and philosophical issues in this new science.
Read this book to understand the science and ethics of the prevention and reversal of species extinction.
