Scientist want to resurrect the extinct Tasmanian tiger
Fox News
A group of scientists is teaming up with Colossal Biosciences to bring the Tasmanian tiger back to life after it disappeared nearly 100 years ago.
"We would strongly advocate that first and foremost we need to protect our biodiversity from further extinctions, but unfortunately we are not seeing a slowing down in species loss," said Andrew Pask, a professor at the University of Melbourne leading the project at the Thylacine Integrated Genetic Restoration Research Lab.
"This technology offers a chance to correct this and could be applied in exceptional circumstances where cornerstone species have been lost."
