This isn’t Jurassic Park, it is humanity and not nature that has directly contributed to the extinction of many species of animals, who otherwise would have continued on existing within their natural habitat. If we can develop the method for artificially reviving those species then I think it’s our responsibility to do so.
well yes, when it comes to this topic there's some concern about things like what happened in those. movies would happen, but that's possible with dinosaurs, I wonder if it's the same for other animals
In fairness to Jurassic park, they give Ian Malcolm this exact line of reasoning. Hammond tries to compare the endangered condors to the dinos, and Malcolm immediately replies with the "humans are causing that" line.
@Ahmed Jones because we don't know if at that point it'll be possible anymore. If the other rhinos go extinct as well, there will be no surrogates and science isn't as easy as it is made out to be in movies.
"Do we have a responsibility to try to bring species back from the brink, especially when human actions brought them there in the first place?" Well, if people would have cared more about how not to bring them there for last several decades, it'd saved us an effort of asking this question now. But because they didn't, yeah, we have such a responsibility cause the situation went too far to improve by itself.
@Yiming Peng Rhino horns are used as an afrodesiac in East Asia. There's no scientific evidence that it is so that's where the discrepancy lies. There has been efforts to legalise the trade in Rhino horns in South Africa to allow for safe harvesting of the horns to prevent poaching. I'm not sure if it's worked though. Hope that helps
@INERT not only China. Eastern Asia believed it had medicinal properties but the rest of the world saw it as expensive, fancy material. They'd sell sculptures and stuff out of ivory for a high price
Conservation must begin while there's still a male and female member of the species left. You cant revive extinct species, unless you had started conservation before they went extinct
So if I'm right you're saying that all the species will eventually die or evolution will make a different species, and surviving is the during in the transition?
Think Different - Thought Provoking Ideas Extinction does happen, but the extinction that we are cause is going at a fast rate and enough time for no species to take over. Just because extinction happens by nature doesn’t give us an excuse to make it happen.
Marcelo Sanches Don’t listen to that person. Extinction does happen and new species come in, but we cause that stuff to happen at a fast rate. It would million of years for a new niche. Don’t excuse the fact that we causing extinction.
One such species of tortoise which were declared Extinct were somehow found in a temple in India in very less numbers but now have been revived and they moved from extinct to critically endangered.
Can you imagine how much cheaper and easier it would have been to just prevent poaching (say, by paying people not to poach) than what we have to do now? And this is all ongoing with other species, with threats ranging from poaching to pollution to climate change. Prevention is definitely the way to go
Ok, but who is going to pay people notmto poach, then everyone who has never poached is going to ask for the same prize and every world government will have no money, it isn't that simple.
@@millerkidsmiller3733 for one easy example you could pay the people surrounding parks or placed with protected animals to monitor the animals or tend the land, or creating other financial incentives (like through tourism) to offset the financial benefits of poaching and create a direct link between the wellbeing and population of the animals and the wellbeing of the communities around them
We should try to bring animals back from being extinct only if humans were the reason that they are going to be extinct, but if natural selection is the reason they will go extinct, bringing them back won’t help because they will die anyways if we leave them in nature, unless we have an advanced technology to edit their genes for them to be more likely to survive such as giving them extra strength to run, etc.
But shouldn’t we consider the fact that we are part of nature, and so, if they became extinct because they cannot survive and adapt to the environment dominated by humans, wouldn’t that be natural selection as well?
Mario Toller we can’t kill the invasive species in that particular area, so that’s not an option, so the only way is to move those species to another area where they will thrive and survive, if we can’t do that then technically that is natural selection and we should keep those animals alive only in zoos and as pets? Just like how we are doing with dogs and cats
Uh Huh yes you are right, if animals can’t survive an urban way of life, and they go extinct then that is technically speaking natural selection, but people get mad at other people just for “existing” have you met those people that are like “humans are cancer on this earth” the type that hate themselves because they pose a threat to other animal’s lives? Well I don’t like those people because they don’t realize we are nature, and we were naturally selected by nature to be more intelligent and that’s what intelligent beings do, survive.
Frans Tammo Yes, I become a bit irritated too, and it happens more often than not. Which makes me think, who do they think we and themselves are? Asteroids? But, I do understand something about them, some may just be because they absolutely adore those other species and is extremely frustrated by a narrow view where humans are the sole cause of those other species’ sufferings and impending extinct (if they weren’t extinct already).

Edit: Such as poachers, not all are greedy, selfish and whatever. Not all kill only to feel happy, or to be famed for their ‘trophies’. I don’t know every poacher, I don’t know any. But I do think there are some who kill only to sustain themselves and live in some kind of a poor society. Considering how many people there are, and how different each person is.
Us humans have ruined this planet the fact we know so much now and we aren't trying to un do the damage but create more we don't deserve this beautiful planet or animals
This video is amazing. Although as a student of pathology, I have one major concern. If the blood cells of both species have even 1 different antigen, then the surrogate's immunesystem may attack the developing embryo at any stage during the pregnancy! Maybe the researchers should see if the northern species' blood is producing any reaction in the southern surrogates. ( i.e. if injecting the blood of the northern species into the blood of any female southern white rhino is resulting in the formation of any abnormal antibodies).
Really well done video, and I think it's great that we as humans, despite our mistakes, rarely lose hope. However, I have a question regarding the long-term nature of such a project. If all the rhinos come from the same eggs, doesn't that minimize the gene pool a lot? Does that have any effect on the health of the next generation? For example if two rhino childs with the same grandmother pair up? Btw I was never the best in biology..
It can be done by extracting the nucleus from a preserved cell from the extinct species and swapping it into an egg, without a nucleus, of that species' nearest living relative.👍
