"The question is whether Colossal’s leaders and supporters are willing to pivot from a project that grabs news headlines to ones that would likely make positive differences. By tempting us with the resurrection of a long-dead creature, #Colossal forces us to ask: do we want conservation to be primarily about feeding an unreflective imagination? Or do we want evidence, logic, and ethics to be central to our relationships with other #species? For anyone who really cares about the #climate, #elephants, or #animals in general, #deextincting the #mammoth represents a huge waste and a colossal mistake."
