I see. I guess that it could also help biodiversity efforts from a PR standpoint to have wildlife reserves for a 'charismatic' animal like the dodo, similar to how everybody wants to protect the panda bear.

They often do. What do you think the world would be like without police, roses and fairie dust?

Wouldn't the de-extincted species probably face the same pressures that made them extinct in the first place?

It's like saying that we should terraform Mars because of global warming. Uh, wouldn't we have to make Earth worse than Mars for that to be useful?

A massive loss of biodiversity is bad for humans, regardless of whether the biosphere recovers.

Just looking at it made me feel cold, physically and spiritually. Also the acoustics are probably terrible.

I've dropped ice cubes on the floor before and they definitely slide a lot more than most objects of the same shape.

I think there are a lot of people who don’t know they care but actually do and would get really upset if you placed anything out of the ordinary in front of them.

Where is the number of 40% from? Personally, I think that living in an environment where free markets can actually exist and we can live in relative safety and security is worth far more than I pay in taxes.
