About this Event
Traditionally, if a species becomes extinct, it is gone forever. But new and extraordinary opportunities for rewilding and de-extinction are transforming how de-extinction might be achieved. Whenever de-extinction hits the headlines, the stories tend to focus on the past, whether reviving lost species or recreating ecosystems.
Historian of science Sadiah Qureshi will explore the history of de-extinction, and whether it offers a chance of building radically different futures and not just a means of reversing extinction. De-extinction may redefine what counts as extinction in technical, philosophical and emotional terms and possibly even what it means to be alive.
