Well, I'm very connected to the living world, I go out of my way to be. To draw that conclusion from a simple question is a bit of a stretch. It couldn't be farther from the truth. It would be one thing to try to restore a species that went extinct recently, something that maybe played a crucial role in a dying ecosystem. But something that's been extinct for so long that it's only documentation is in ancient text, something which has living descendants right now by the billions, and in a place where the landscape has long since adapted to the current biodiversity and is already largely a human influenced landscape, it doesn't make sense to me. Bringing back extinct rhino species, or bird species, or reptile species in places where they flourished recently enough that their presence is missed by the biome, that makes a lot of sense. To me this is like bringing back the wooly mammoth, it's rationalized with practicality but in reality it's just a novelty.
