Gene editing technology could be used to save species on the brink of extinction – New Study/Science Updates



Earth’s biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent “sixth mass extinction” threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species.



Summary

Earth’s biodiversity is facing a critical crisis, with the planet potentially entering a “sixth mass extinction.” This event poses a significant threat to both beloved and crucial wildlife populations, potentially leading to their extinction. Beyond the loss of species, the crisis also jeopardizes the genetic diversity within surviving species, reducing their ability to adapt to changing environments and further destabilizing ecosystems. This decline in genetic variation has far-reaching consequences for the planet’s overall health and resilience.
