The Cutting-Edge Science of Cloning Endangered Animals | In Real Life

"In Real Life: Nature's Reboot" examines the innovative approaches of scientists and conservationists in combating the extinction crisis through cloning and genome preservation. The episode features the cloning of the Przewalski's horse, the last truly wild horse species, a project led by Revive & Restore, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, and ViaGen Pets & Equine.
The documentary takes viewers to Mongolia's Hustai National Park, where a re-introduced herd of over 400 Przewalski's horses demonstrates the potential of these conservation efforts.
The role of the Frozen Zoo is also highlighted, preserving the genetic material of over 1,200 species. The episode covers global initiatives in biobanking endangered species, including the efforts to save the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse in the U.S., with similar projects underway in China, Japan, and the UK.
This episode presents the current state of global biodiversity and explores the use of genetic engineering as a tool for conservation.

What's your take on using cloning technology for wildlife conservation? Is it a necessary step towards saving endangered species, or are we overstepping our bounds with nature? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

If aliens were to do things to us, the humanity, like we to do those animals and the aliens, were trying to conserve us using technology. How would that make us feel? What would that make us?

Not extinct.@@earth101foraliens4

I’m 100% for this as discussed in the video.
Bring back the dodo!

Well you cant play god because hes pretend sooo

Just stop just stop. Playing God is NOT what it's supposed to happen. God made us and we can't make are selves God .

[@gandalflotr2898]

Sadly everyone is an atheist

[@packerman7410]

This is nothing like playing god? We aren’t creating entirely new species, just cloning existing ones.

@packerman7410 come on you know what I mean

If the god I was taught about before I abandoned that gobbledygook, “he” gave us free will.
