Colossal Laboratories recently announced the birth of gray wolf puppies with dire wolf genes, sparking controversy over the implications of cloning for conservation. The marketing claims about reversing extinction faced skepticism due to ethical concerns and the reality of the dire wolf's genetic modification status. Additionally, Colossal cloned four red wolves, aiming to enhance the genetic diversity of an already endangered species. While these cloning efforts bring attention, experts argue they shouldn't overshadow the critical need for habitat conservation and practical measures to protect threatened species effectively.
"Colossalâs claim of de-extinction through genetic engineering has raised skepticism among scientists, as the ethical implications and effectiveness of such cloning technologies come into question."
"The idea of using cloned red wolf pups to bolster dwindling populations is promising, but experts warn about focusing on technology rather than on conservation of existing habitats."
