Description

De-extinction: bringing back extinct species to life is no longer science fiction. In this thought-provoking book, evolutionary biologist Beth Shapiro explores the cutting-edge science behind reviving the past.

Shapiro delves into the fascinating process of de-extinction, from deciding which species should be restored to anticipating how revived populations might be overseen in the wild. She examines the practical benefits and ethical challenges of this ambitious endeavour, arguing that the ultimate goal should be the revitalization and stabilization of contemporary ecosystems.

Through her insightful analysis, Shapiro sheds light on an idea once considered the stuff of science fiction, demonstrating how de-extinction will redefine conservation's future. A compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, nature, and humanity.
