Bringing extinct species alive - Hortobagy National Park - videos.trom.tf/w/hWHgC7izkZzmu…
Hortobagy National Park have some incredible rewilding and conservation projects. Like bringing extinct animals like Auroch, or extincted int the wild Przewalski's horses. It's unique place in Hungary and they are doing so much to restore and protect the nature.
@trom
The problem is that once a species has disappeared, it's gone forever - you can't bring it back, rewilding lobby or not!
Przewalski's horse is a breed born of past domestication, and neither of these projects is "conservation".
Hortobagy National Park has many other conservation concerns to (try to) deal with

What do yo mean you cannot bring a species back? Aren't there plenty of such examples?

Can you give me more info about that?
Also I'll tag @sober_pirate in case he wants to reply.
@tio @sober_pirate @trom I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
When a species becomes extinct, well, that's the end of it. It's too late.
When a population of a species has disappeared, it's possible to reintroduce it, using individuals from elsewhere, on the express condition that the causes of its local disappearance have been eliminated.
The Auroch is an extinct species, although we're tinkering with backwards selection
@tio @sober_pirate @trom At Hortobagy NP, they're working on it, but there's still a lot of work to be done to restore water levels and circulation, in the fight against invasive species, in herd management and for example in the use of antiparasitic products, which are very harmful to the local entomofauna, etc....
