Episode Description:In this episode of Bendiksen Airways, I’m joined by a representative from Revive & Restore—the groundbreaking nonprofit using genetic rescue 🧬 to reshape the future of conservation 🌱. We explore how cutting-edge biotech tools like CRISPR and cloning are being applied to save endangered species 🐾, boost genetic diversity, and even bring back lost traits once thought gone forever.We dive into Revive & Restore’s bold three-pronged approach to innovation 🚀, how they balance high-risk projects with species-wide rewards, and what their work means for conservation biology in a rapidly changing world 🌡️. This is a conversation about science, imagination, and the future of life on Earth 🌎.Useful links:Documentary series The Resurrection Quest (the episodes are in descending order of 4,3,21)Videos on our website:Revive & Restore's MissionThe Genetic Rescue ToolkitBiotechnology for BirdsHow to Bring Back the Passenger PigeonAbout the Passenger PigeonLinks to my open access publications relevant to conservation and biotechnology:2018 Paper on De-extinction2021 Paper on U.S. Conservation Translocations2025 Paper on Conservation CloningDet beste du kan gjøre for å støtte podcasten er å gi den 5* og trykke "følg" på Spotify eller hvor enn du hører på - takk!😁Du kan også støtte podcasten ved å vippse til: 95992 088Alexander finner du på:Twitter: @AlexBendiksenFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004906086710⁠⁠⁠⁠
