Genetic rescue
Sources:
Genetic rescue aims to save endangered species by introducing genetic diversity. Stewart Brand discusses such efforts at Revive & Restore, which focuses on genetically saving species and ecosystems. This initiative initially started as part of the Long Now Foundation before becoming an independent entity 1.
Gene therapy, a related area, works on fixing genetic mutations responsible for diseases. For instance, experts have highlighted approaches like using viruses to introduce corrected genes or editing DNA in early development stages to address genetic diseases effectively. This therapy offers potential solutions for conditions with complex genetic backgrounds, including cancer 2.
