Extinct species won't be back though.
- soraki_soladead 4y agoTrue but new species will emerge. There have be numerous mass extinction events on Earth.
- ch4s3 4y agoSome won't but there's no reason to believe we won't be able to revive some species. It's unfortunate, but some loss is unavoidable. All we can do is prioritize, protect what we can, and move forward.
- snikeris 4y agoUltimately all species will perish due to the heat death of the sun unless we take them with us off this planet.
- bckr 4y agoThere's this idea that we should be sad about this. I say, if you're sad about it, I understand. I feel a little sad, too. But I'm also curious about what comes next. What will only get a chance to live thanks to the things that have died? What will humans be able to do in the aftermath? It sounds morbid, but if you just let yourself play with these thoughts they can lead somewhere different and interesting. The future is not full of only despair[] .

- ambrose2 4y agoThis argument always upsets me. You’re curious about what new species will come about in hundreds of thousands of years, millions? It’s certainly not going to be anytime soon. With the loss of biodiversity, we either have less life or more of life which isn’t preferable. I forget the best examples, but invasive species will spread further, and wreak further havoc, and then what? What kind of better world are you imagining this will enable?
- Scarblac 4y agoThat will take millions, tens of millions of years. I don't see what use it is to be curious about that when no human will see it.
