It is necessary to preserve all species as they fulfill a fundamental role in nature, so it is necessary that they are taken care of under maximum attention, in addition to that they may have the key to a new human breeding technique

I think that scientists should not try to bring back extinct because if an ecosystem is surviving fine with out the species and it re enters the environment it could cause more damage.
