De-extinction is bringing back the balance we took from the nature
For many people de-extinction is the way to counter all the damage we have made on the ecosystems. It is a way to “go back in time” and fix every mistake that we have made, trying to build a better world.
If de-extinction brings back the extinct species that died years ago, then all of those animals and plants that died will rebuild the food chains. A very famous example of the damage that an extinct species caused was during the 20th century, when the passenger pigeons in US disappeared.
When the bird went extinct in 1914, it was a somber awakening of the power of industrial humanity to wipe out even the most abundant of natural resources
