Extinction Solutions

Question

What are solutions to extinction? What specific part of the problem is being addressed with this solution? What role will the scientific community need to play in developing this solution? What is the plan of action? What are societal factors to consider? What are some political factors? Cultural and social factors? What are some socioeconomic factors to consider? What is the Historical Context? What is the evidence and data behind the proposal and the reasoning?

Answer 1

If the question is asking "what can be done to prevent extinction," then there are many different approaches scientists and governmental entities can do. Or, if the question is asking, "what is the solution to extinction after it has already taken place," then that answer will probably be the cloning of that species.

Ways to prevent:

1. Reduce the carbon footprint. Climate change drastically alters and damages environments which contain endangered species.
2. Create a cultural awareness, either from the government, or private organizations. Media engagement will play a role in this.
3. Funding of animal sanctuaries and protection from poaching.
4. Voting for candidates who will protect species
5. The Giant Panda's recovery from extinction is a good example of how these methods can work.
