Jon SullivanI’m generally a bit skeptical of de-extinction plans, when we have so many wild species on the brink of extinction that need our help. Still, I find myself excited at the prospect of Peter Jackson helping to bring back NZ’s nine species of moa. Peter can spend his money however he likes, and this is *much* better than buying another big yacht or a social media company.<a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/south-island-giant-moa-de-extinction-plans-sir-peter-jackson-teams-up-with-colossal-biosciences/5M5QPE2VWVBYRAXPWH6OWOO4DY/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/south-island-giant-moa-de-extinction-plans-sir-peter-jackson-teams-up-with-colossal-biosciences/5M5QPE2VWVBYRAXPWH6OWOO4DY/</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/deextinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deextinction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/moa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#moa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nz</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conservation</a>
