Is it possible to reverse mankind's greatest catastrophic casualty? Can we bring back extinct animals and endangered species directly affected by manmade disasters, such as climate change and pollution, and salvage any positive resemblance for biodiversity in the future?  A warning for a possible “Jurassic Park” disaster in the future.   In this episode, Alex and Jason revisit some scientific and ethical aspects of genetic engineering and its by-product, genetically modified organisms for the prospects of scientific renaissance. Science can actually create positive change in our current state of evolution, moreover, we can reverse some major damages we've done against the natural world.   Mass extinctions are off the charts since mankind began to industrialize, and then globalized, human activities. Reaching every nook and cranny we have caused the abrupt demise of countless species. Restoring the balance and former glory of nature is our responsibility of stewards of Creation.     A recent YouGov study suggests that a lot of people support the current preservation of endangered animals, but what about extinct ones? We believe that everyone has the right to have a chance and see the beauty of nature what it was before. We should set aside, let loose the irrational fears and realize that science can actually help make our world, our mother nature, a better place than today. We should owe up to our own mistakes. We are responsible for more animal extinction than all of mother nature's natural selection.   In the end, we must accept the inevitability of life and death. In many ways, life finds a way to push and move forward. Evolution is a constant process of refining life closer to perfection, closer to Creational truths beholden in the very essence of nature. Nurturing and positive growth.   We can only imagine the possibilities if all animals were still, somehow, alive today. Affecting our ecosystem, but we have the power to make imagination into reality. Let's join Alex and Jason as they discuss the possibilities of life. www.higherdensityliving.com

At that pace, we may lose a large proportion of vertebrates, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes, in the next two to three decades. Modern extinctions caused by human activities is higher that the normal or natural extinction rate. This is important because it would let us understand if we are causing a mass extinction. In the history of life on Earth, there have been five mass extinctions – episodes where large numbers of species became extinct in a short period of time.

Stuffed animals used to be a fixture of Victorian houses and museums, though for modern eyes they elicit complicated responses. They're certainly striking - often magnificent - examples of the taxidermist's skill. But they're also tragic, particularly when the animals are endangered, or even extinct. Now a modern exhibition offers life-sized skeletons of endangered animals, made not from bone but from knitting. Sculptor Michele Beevors believes the sense of loss to those looking at them, will be just as profound. From tiny frogs to a towering giraffe, she's knitted their skeletons as part of a two-decade-long project, and many have been included in exhibitions about the country. This selection from the Anatomy Lessons menagerie is about to open in Otago Museum's animal attic Michele's twelve chosen creatures will sit alongside some of the museum's historic skin and fur taxidermied exhibits. Michele is principal lecturer in sculpture at the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic. She tells Lynn Freeman that, for her, these frozen-in-time creatures have held a sad fascination for her since she moved to Otepoti Dunedin 20 years ago.
