Read chapter 1 "OUR VANISHING (AND REAPPEARING) WILDLIFE" of THE FALL OF THE WILD: EXTINCTION, DE-EXTINCTION, AND THE ETHICS OF CONSERVATION, by Ben A. Minteer. In this work, Minteer calls for reflection on the ethical dilemmas of species loss and recovery in an increasingly human-driven world. He probes the tension between our impulse to do whatever it takes and the risk of pursuing strategies that undermine our broader commitment to the preservation of wildness.
