Genetic Engineering and Saving Endangered Species

Speed of disappearing animal species convinces most of the zoologists that we are having the sixth big extinction, an extinction which is because of the human activities. Asiatic lion (Panthera Leo Persicus), Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor), Chita, Vulpes Cana, Alaotra grebe, Palas cat, Polar bear, Koala are endangered of extinction species. So as endangered species are disappearing from natural habitats and are limited to the ones which are found in zoos, researchers are looking for ways to save these species. Genetic engineering introduces new ways of cloning using the technique which created Dolly the sheep; to generate endangered animals in the eggs and wombs of common creatures such as cows. Researchers have opened the door to a future where even extinct species such as mammoths could walk on the earth again. In this article we have tried to show the importance of the subject and present some ways of saving these endangered species in order to draw scientist’s attention to it.
