Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics, and Risks of De-Extinction

byBritt Wray

What happens when you try to recreate a woolly mammoth—fascinating science, or conservation catastrophe? Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Rise of the Necrofauna moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Rise of the Necrofauna within science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the science, ethics, and risks of de-extinction continues to shape the present.
