Jurassic Park‚ a cult favorite‚ seems to be a scary work of fiction. What most do not realize is that there are efforts taking place right now to make the processes of reversing extinction a reality. This process‚ coined as ‘De-Extinction‚’ is defined as using intact tissues of extinct animals to clone them and introduce them back into existing ecosystems. These efforts are taking place all over the world: the United States of America‚ Australia‚ Poland‚ and Russia. (Zimmer‚ 2013) This process includes

As a result‚ the rapid exhaustion of the Earth’s natural resources becomes the most important issue nowadays that will cause many consequences in nature. In a word‚ some of those bad effects that human activities cause to nature are change in climate‚ species extinction‚ and marine ecosystem damage. Body Climate change
