De-extinction: Conservation Tool or Science Fiction?

Could we really bring back the woolly mammoth or the dodo? This thought-provoking session explores the science of de-extinction—past, present, and future. We'll look at real-world projects that aim to resurrect extinct species and the technologies that make them possible, from cloning to gene editing. But should we be doing this at all?

Join us as we explore different viewpoints: Is de-extinction a revolutionary conservation tool to restore lost ecosystems, or a dangerous distraction from saving the species we still have? Expect lively discussion, fascinating case studies, and big ethical questions.

Perfect for nature lovers, conservationists, students, and anyone curious about the blurred line between science fiction and science fact.
