Other: Online Webinar 11am NZST - De-Extinction a New Zealand Perspective
Public Talk

What's the truth about de-extinction? - A New Zealand perspective.
Date: October 14th 2025 (possibly the 13th for USA/Canada)
Time: 11:00AM - 12:30PM New Zealand Standard Time

De-extinction hit the headlines recently with the ?resurrection' of the
dire wolf and the push to bring back the moa. However, can scientists
actually de-extinct animals, and more importantly, should they bring
them back? In this webinar Associate Professor Nic Rawlence from the
Otago University Zoology Department will delve into the science, ethics,
and indigenous concerns surrounding de-extinction.

Nic's presentation will last about one hour. It is designed for
the general public. There will be plenty of time for questions and
discussion. Please join us for this special webinar by registering below.
