  • An intrepid group of butterflies is about to help turn the clock back nearly a century in San Francisco's Presidio. Biologist Durrell Kapan, Ph.D. of the California Academy of Sciences says the butterflies will be replacing a long-lost species called the Xerces Blue that went extinct in the 1940s.

    Step one is to restore the habitat with the indigenous native plants. Habitat Restoration is happening all over the Bay Area.

    • @tired2993

      Quick proof that God is real: if there is a building that you see, but you don’t know who built it, then the logical sense is to assume that a builder built it, and it didn’t just show up out of nowhere. If there is painting, then that’s proof that there’s a painter who made that painting even if they have passed away a long time ago. So, if we have creation- Earth, the sky, grass, flowers, animals, us, etc, then isn’t the logical sense to assume there is a creator?
      Have you ever used God’s name in vain-like a cuss word, lied, stolen, hated someone, gossiped, lusted, etc(see more in the 10 commandments)? This is called sin and we’ve all done at least one of these. Now, sin is basically doing something against God’s will. Now because we have done something against His will, it’s good to note that He is Just. A JUST judge wouldn’t look at a guilty criminal and give them a non-guilty verdict for what they’ve done. And if the Judge is Just, they wouldn’t let the criminal go if they had said that they had done something Good. Our actions are way more serious and cannot be paid off of just because I did something Good. (So good works cannot save us) This is exactly How God is! He’s so just that He looks at us, and He has to send us to hell. Scary right? But HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS!! Usually, there is bail- a payment that someone can do for a guilty criminal so that they can be set free- legally. Now here’s JESUS, who is GOD and takes our place for us THROUGH DYING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS- to basically pay off the price that sin created. See Romans 6:23, but here’s what Jesus did: John 3:16, Romans 4:25, 2 Corinthians 5:21 AND
      Romans 10:9-10
      If we believe in Jesus and repent (turn away from sin) then we will be saved from our punishment. But we must continue this relationship with Jesus!

      They're gone. Their genome can't be recreated. You can introduce a precursor genus, but even if every condition was identical to the conditions during their original evolution they'll still end up different due to chaos. Once it's extinct it's gone, even genome cloning requires a host whose genome contaminates the clone. We will NEVER have a wooly mammoth, the best we can hope for is a wooly African elephant

    Oooo this is VERY cool!!!! Introducing a new species is always nerve wracking, but this is so clever and well researched (and low risk lmao butterflies don't tend to be invasive *too* easily, which is part of the cleverness) This is an incredible way to potentially replace keystone species that are already extinct. I hope it's successful and that we can have similar future successes in other areas! As a hobby conservationist living in Cali--this is really nice to see!! Ironically i actually see a lot less well researched conservationism here in Cali than i did in Florida lmao

    This is like the literal "butterfly effect".
    Introducing a completely novel species, in terms of genetics, will have profound and unpredictable effects, especially over a long enough timeline.
