Unfortunately, Florida already targets mosquito populations with several techniques towards the goal of driving them to vastly reduced numbers. A gene drive has been deployed in the Keys, as I understand it. I don't know if the objective was extinction or not. Humans are going to impact their environment, and it's not productive to deny that this is going to happen. Smallpox was driven extinct, and many would like to do the same to dangerous mosquitos. I can't judge the morality, but it will likely happen all the same.
