OM DENNE EPISODE
Ben Novak of Revive & Restore joins the program for a fascinating conversation about cloning, conservation biotechnology, and the future of de-extinction. As lead scientist at the Revive & Restore, Ben discusses how cutting-edge genetic science is being used to protect endangered species, restore lost biodiversity, and potentially bring extinct animals back from the brink.
Could we really see the return of the thylacine — better known as the Tasmanian tiger — within our lifetime? Ben explains the science behind de-extinction, the ethical debates surrounding cloning, and why many conservationists believe these technologies could become essential tools in fighting biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
The conversation also explores Revive & Restore’s groundbreaking work with cloning endangered animals, genetic rescue programs, and how advances in biotechnology are reshaping the future of wildlife conservation. From mammoths to passenger pigeons to the thylacine, this episode dives into one of the most controversial and exciting frontiers in modern science.
