In the famous science fiction movie "Jurassic Park", scientists use the blood of dinosaurs that are condensed in the prehistoric mosquito in amber to extract the genetic genes of the dinosaur, and resurrected the prehistoric giant of the prehistoric of 65 million years, so that the entire Nubola Island Become a dinosaur paradise, but in the end, due to the damage of employees, the dinosaurs were out of control and impressed the world fans.

Today, Jurassic Park may come true. According to the British "Independence" reported on September 16, some scientists have recently said that they can use modern biotechnology to resurrect the extinct species such as the fierce elephant, the Tasmanian tiger, and the pigeons in North America, which has caused widespread widespread dispute.

Scientists have announced that they want to resurrect several categories of extinct species

It is understood that in about 2000 BC, the last long -haired elephant died on a remote islands in Siberia, which also marked the extermination of Changmao Mengxiang.

Today, a scientist team that claims to be resurrected to resurrected a long -hairy elephant (referred to as "Colossal") in the United States, which is formed The support of investors such as Winklevoss twins, famous actors Chris Hills Voswood and other investors. While they claimed to be resurrected, they also announced the plan to resurrect the wolf wolf (an extinct Australian carnivore).

In addition to George's team of scientists, there are other scientists teams trying to resurrected extinct species like travel pigeons.

Self -claiming species resurrection is to deal with climate crisis

Why first resurrect the furry elephant? COLOSSAL claims to deal with an increasingly serious climate crisis.

Scientists explained that the permanent frozen soil of Arctic moss contains a lot of carbon. However, with the increasing carbon discharge of countries around the world, the temperature rises, and the permanent frozen soil is melting, which may also make the carbon in permanent frozen soil released into the atmosphere, forming a dangerous warming feedback cycle.

COLOSSAL claims that if the long -haired elephant is resurrected and they are re -introduced into the original moss, then their wanton tramples may make mossogen from forest and wetlands into grasslands, which will help maintain the cold of permanent frozen soil, and it is better to be better. Ground storage underground carbon.

As a protective organization that is committed to protecting endangered animals and rehabilitation species through genetic engineering technology, ReviveAndrestore also strives to resurrect to the end of the 20th century to be hunted to the extinct North American bird pigeons.

Norwak, chief scientist of Revive and Restore, told the Reporter that the Pigeon was "the chief ecosystem engineer of the eastern forest land in North America". Resurrection can help repair the ecological environment.

This plan triggers widespread controversy

According to reports, to truly resurrect these extinct species and achieve the goal of alleviating climate crisis, scientists also need to make many steps.

On the one hand, these scientists need to create healthy animals such as North American pigeons and long -haired pigeons and furry elephants through gene editing and successful cloning; on the other hand, they need to successfully release enough newly created animals to the wild, and these Animals must act as expected to obtain the ecological benefits of the team's hope.

In the film "Jurassic Park", scientists collect dinosaur DNA from the long -term mosquitoes, sequencing, and then using the reconstructed genetic password to incubate the overlord dragon. Fast decomposition, scientists can sequen the content from 65 million years ago. However, there is no such theoretical loopholes for animals like resurrection.

Because Changmao Mengxiang lives in the time closer and cold and frozen in the north, some of their specimens are preserved and buried in the depths of moss, which makes some of their DNA intact. Therefore, scientists can sequen the large number of genomes of long -haired and fierce elephants. COLOSSAL CEO Novak told the Independence News that the company is expected to have a 90%genome of the mammoth. Novak said that the company plans to use the cells of living Asian elephants (close -ups of the fierce mammoth) as the basic template to try to reproduce some typical features of Changmao Mengxiang, such as fluffy hair and small ears.

However, turning a cell into a long -haired elephant, not only to edit some genes, but also need to turn the cells into a living, breathable, weighing tons of animals. Novak said the company's scientists are studying all aspects from stem cells, cell engineering to embryonic development and animal husbandry related.

However, because part of the genome of the furry elephant may have disappeared in history forever, scientists may never be fully sequensed to the genome of Changmao Fangxiangxiang, creating an accurate replication of ancient long -haired mammoths.

Once these scientists' plans were released, they also caused widespread controversy. Supporters said that this move can restore the long -disappeared species to the ecosystem to play their important role, which may eliminate certain damage caused by extinction to the natural world; What kind of animals will create, and at the same time, they also question whether the resurrection of species will bring new problems to wild animals in the world.

Gilbert, a evolutionary biologist at the University of Copenhagen, said that he did not believe that "the resurrection of species is a good idea, but he is very fascinated by this study."
