- Scientists in the US and Australia have embarked on a $15-million project to resurrect the thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger using gene-editing technology.
- It was a marsupial that went extinct in the 1930’s.
- The ambitious project aims to reintroduce the animal to its native place Tasmania to revive the region’s lost ecological balance.
- This is not the first attempt to revive thylacines.
- In 1999, an Australian scientist, Dr Michael Archer, made an unsuccessful journey.
