A groundbreaking examination of the implications of synthetic biology for biodiversity conservationIt is impressive how the book manages to be so rich in perspectives on such a complex and controversial phenomenon, yet so cautiously and openmindedly written that it invites contemplation and reflection rather than hasty conclusions.Adam Wickberg, Global Environmental PoliticsNature almost everywhere survives on human terms. The distinction between what is natural and what is humanmade, which has informed conservation for centuries, has become blurred. When scientists can reshape genes more or less at will, what does it mean to conserve nature?The tools of synthetic biology are changing the way we answer that question. Gene editing technology is already transforming the agriculture and biotechnology industries. What happens if synthetic biology is also used in conservation to control invasive species, fight wildlife disease, or even bring extinct species back from the dead?Conservation scientist Kent Redford and geographer Bill Adams turn to synthetic biology, ecological restoration, political ecology, and deextinction studies and propose a thoroughly innovative vision for protecting nature.
