"My editorial: One has to wonder why it is necessary or even a great idea to bring back species that nature long ago determined were a failure." Technically not a failure, just a victim of climate change.(well the change way back then... not the recent one.. lol)

That's fair. I've just watched from Canada seeing things get cancelled just because someone different got elected. IMHO, politics at times gets in the way. Just my .02

Again, people with no scientific or technical knowledge are dictating to scientists on what they can do and when.
