An audacious collaboration between geneticists and conservationists plans to bring back the extinct dodo and reintroduce it to its once-native habitat in Mauritius.

@finkled @estherschindler About time! Hope it can happen!! 🦤
@estherschindler The promise of de-extinction has been around for 20 years or so. I don't think it's been successful yet. There are groups for both the Woolly Mammoth and the Thylacine. The most successful so far that I've heard was a Thylacine pup that was born and lived for several minutes.
Here's hoping!
@estherschindler Whatttt have you heard, @Finkle ?!
