• Question: Is it more important to try and re-introduce extinct species or work on saving endangered species? Or are they equally important to you?

      Reintroducing already extinct in the wild species is exceptionally difficult and is rarely done as it is rarely successful – I personally think we need to put more focus on saving animals that are endangered as it is much more doable to protect them than bring them back from extinction!

      I think we should not re-introuduce extinct species, as there may be a reason they became extinct, we should concentrate on saving endangered species or preventing other species ending up on the endangered list.
