The Trump administration says the US endangered species should be “exterminated”

The list for endangered species can change during the Trump administration.

After biotechnology and genetic engineering companies Colossal biology said that it successfully created Three severe wolf puppies Earlier this week, the secretary of Inner Doug Burgum shared his thoughts on reviving other extinct animals – and is considering the list of endangered species.

On Monday, April 7, the former North Dakota Governor applauded the efforts from the Gen editing technology on X.

“The interior’s department is excited about the potential for” de-textinction “technology and how it can serve broader purposes in addition to the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biological diversity protection efforts and helping threatened or risky species,” read the post.

According to US Environmental Protection AgencyThere are over 1,300 species listed that are threatened or threatened to be eradicated in the United States according to the Law of endangered species from 1973. Burgum, which compared the list with “Hotel California”, with task, “when a species enters the rules” does not want to celebrate the removal of animals from the list of genetic technology, and adds that “is focused on the focus.

“The only thing we would like to see goes extinct is the need for a threatened species list,” Burgum wrote. “We must continue to improve the recovery efforts to make it reality, and the miracle of” de-textinction “technology can help create a future where populations are never exposed.”

Posten continued, “Since our nation’s dawn, it has been innovation-not regulation-which has created American greatness. The resuscitation of Dire Wolf Herald’s creation of an exciting new era of scientific wonders, shows how the concept of” de-outlets “can serve as a bedrock for modern species.

US Fish and Wildlife Servicewhich is responsible for “recovering and preserving our country’s imperily species,” categorizes species into five categories: Endangered, threatened, threatened based on similarity in the appearance of an existing listed species, threatened based on equality in appearance to an existing listed species, substantial experimental population and non -essential experimental population.

Some animals on the list of endangered species include cheetahs, lemurs, marine oer, black rhinos, blue whales, polar bears and several others.

In its post, Burgum added that “breakthrough of this type” has the potential to inspire researchers to drive the boundaries of what is possible. “The interior’s department looks forward to a lively future full of innovation that promotes nuclear assignments such as preservation of wildlife,” completed the post.

The post was published the same day as TIME shared details about Colossals De-Extinction Projects.

“Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy severe wolf puppies,” explained Colossal CEO and co -founder Ben Lamm in a statement.

“It was once said,” all sufficiently advanced technology cannot be separated from magic, “continued lambs.” Today our team will reveal some of the magic they work with and its broader impact on preservation. ”

Colossal previously created a “wool mouse”, With the ultimate goal of reusing the woolly mum. The company is working to “abolish” others eradicated animalsincluding Dodo and Tasmanic tiger.
