>none of the animals preserved this way would be suited to the world you thrust them into Oh please. Save the plants, too. Save the soil fungi that support them. Save the soil-chemistry and meteorological and geological data. Save the audio transcripts of the descendants of the indigenous people talking about what their grandparents said about the animals and plants and soil and weather. Look, the very concept is a heady cocktail of hopium and handwavium. The realistic bet seems to be, as I say above, on the absolute destruction of everything as we currently understand it. We, if I'm being honest, "frankly aren't smart enough" to stop global society becoming about Line Goes Up rather than human flourishing -- which has historically required the resources of the (collapsing!) biosphere to accomplish, and which, if adopted, would likely represent a sufficient condition for the strenuous (but not insurmountable) changes required to realistically survive.
