Free Lecture from Dr. Amy Welsh on De-Extinction
Once the realm of science fiction, de-extinction is now headlining news – especially with the recent reintroduction of dire wolves. As genetic technologies advance, the idea of bringing back lost species is rapidly shifting from fantasy to possibility. In this talk, we’ll explore the history of conservation genetics, examining its successes and limitations. We’ll then dive into the promise and pitfalls of de-extinction: how it might address long-standing challenges in conservation, and where it could introduce new ethical and ecological risks. Is de-extinction the future of conservation – or just a high-tech distraction?
Presented by PPG.
