Special Interest Group event
In a multi-SIG collab, our GeOID, Paleo and Geoethics SIGs are excited to bring you this webinar from Associate Professor Nic Rawlence who will bust the myths around de-extinction.
De-extinction hit the headlines recently with the ‘resurrection’ of the dire wolf and the push to bring back the moa. However, can scientists actually de-extinct animals, and more importantly, should they bring them back? In this talk Associate Professor Nic Rawlence from the Otago University Zoology Department will delve into the science, ethics, and indigenous concerns surrounding de-extinction.
