This is a tremendous success story – to go from nearly extinct to on the road to recovery, we’ve only reached this point of being able to downlist because of successful partnerships with landowners, conservation agencies, businesses, other agencies, and the work of our national wildlife refuges to conserve Fender’s butterfly. – Craig Rowland	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The technologies we are developing to de-extinct the thylacine all have immediate conservation benefits -- right now -- to protect marsupial species. Biobanks of frozen tissue from living marsupial populations have been collected to protect against extinction from fires, however, we still lack the technology to take that tissue -- create marsupial stem cells -- and then turn those cells into a living animal. That is the technology we will develop as a part of this project. – Andrew Pask	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We are unlikely to get the full genome sequence of the extinct species, thus we will never be able to fully recreate the genome of the lost form. There will always be some parts that can't be changed, they will have to cherry pick what changes to make. And thus the result will be a hybrid. – Tom Gilbert	Found on CNN 1 year ago

The discovery of a single skull of a child, in such a remote location within the cave system adds mystery as to how these many remains came to be in these remote, dark spaces of the Rising Star Cave system, it is just another riddle among many that surround this fascinating extinct human relative. – Lee Berger	Found on CNN 2 years ago
When the dinosaurs went extinct, access to different foods and environments enabled mammals to flourish and diversify rapidly in their tooth anatomy and evolve larger body size, they clearly took advantage of this opportunity, as we can see from the radiation of new mammal species that took place in a relatively short amount of time following the mass extinction. – Madelaine Atteberry	Found on CNN 2 years ago
I hope to see more lesbian bars open throughout cities and states, and some people might say, well, we got the paper right here saying,' Don't do it, because they're practically extinct,' but if you're a smart person, and you have the right people and the right concept... it's not easy, but it can be done. – Jami Maguire	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It's not all that different to the American California condors. You know, the California condor just a few decades ago was reduced to being nearly extinct in the wild. Now [there are] around 500-plus wild condors, but it's a highly managed population. It requires a lot of micromanagement to ensure that they survive in the wild, and, this will likely be the same in Australia … because Australia is the poster child as the Tasmanian devil is the poster child for incredible natural wonder and shocking environmental catastrophe. – Jeff Corwin	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The less time that has passed, the more likely that environment is the same as when the species went extinct, but you still need to address the reason why it went extinct in that environment to begin with. – Natasha Robinson	Found on CNN 3 years ago

I did say- man is a communal animal. if he loses this communality then he will perish and become extinct my reggae aims to keep that wish alive. but still I hope.. – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 3 years ago
As paleontologists, we speculate about the function of ancient adaptations using available evidence, but to see an extinct predator caught in the act of capturing its prey is invaluable. – Phillip Barden	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Fossilized behavior is exceedingly rare, predation( the act of predator attacking prey) especially so, as paleontologists, we speculate about the function of ancient adaptations using available evidence, but to see an extinct predator caught in the act of capturing its prey is invaluable. – Phillip Barden	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Knowledge from the past can protect us in the present. When an animal or plant goes extinct, it isn't coming back. But mutations can re-occur or revert and viruses can mutate or spill over from the animal reservoir so there will always be another zoonosis( disease caused by viruses that jumped from animal hosts into human hosts). – Terry Jones	Found on CNN 3 years ago
While thousands of people had been aware that newspapers would go extinct, nobody had really imagined certain disturbing developments in the new media, and more specifically in social media. – Maxim Behar	added by MaximBehar 3 years ago
The perception of PR agencies as editorial teams in the years of social media revolution is all the more relevant given that traditional media are no longer just endangered species, but are actually going extinct. – Maxim Behar	added by MaximBehar 3 years ago

[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table.... Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct. – Justice Antonin Scalia	added by Normando 4 years ago
That a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the races until the Indian race becomes extinct must be expected. – Peter Burnett	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
