De-extinction using genetic engineering has several ethical issues. Worse, if successful, it can significantly impact global biodiversity, leading to more problems.
Genetic engineering is also a potential solution for saving endangered animals like northern white rhinos.
A gene-editing company is also attempting to bring back to life an extinct Mauritian bird.
