Plutôt que de s’intéresser à la désextinction, il serait plus utile de travailler à conserver les espèces qui peuplent encore notre planète.

“De-extinction” research is a poor alternative to helping ‘pre-extinction’ animals still alive today.
The delicate mouse – widespread across Australia – has turned out to be three different species. This will help to save them from habitat loss.
Australia has more than 60 species of native rodents found nowhere else in the world. New research used museum specimens to find out how they got here.
The remaining populations are threatened by a lack of genetic diversity, which makes them less likely to bounce back from new pressures such as climate change.
