Michael Archer: How we'll resurrect the gastric brooding frog, the Tasmanian tiger

The video discusses two de-extinction projects: the Lazarus Project, which aims to revive the gastric-brooding frog, and the Thylacine Project, which focuses on the thylacine. Both projects highlight the ethical responsibility to restore species humans have driven to extinction. The Lazarus Project uses somatic cell nuclear transplantation to attempt cloning from preserved tissues, while the Thylacine Project explores the potential of using DNA from preserved specimens to bring back the thylacine. The video emphasizes the importance of restoring ecological balance and the potential of keeping animals as pets to prevent future extinctions.
