  • De-Extinction, Dualisms, and Reframing Conservation
    Washington University Law Review VOLUME 92 NUMBER 4 2015 GOING THE WAY OF THE DODO: DE-EXTINCTION, DUALISMS, AND REFRAMING CONSERVATION ALEJANDRO E. CAMACHO ABSTRACT De-extinction, a suite of selective breeding or biotechnological processes for reviving and releasing into the environment members or facsimiles of an extinct species, has been the subject of a recent surge of analysis in popular, scientific, and legal literature. Yet de-extinction raises more fundamental questions about the relationship between humans and nature and about the more and less useful ways that the law serves to navigate that relationship. Unfortunately, the endangered species, invasive species, and public land management laws likely to govern the revival and introduction of de-extinct species largely remain premised on an understanding of nature as static and easily divisible from human activity. In these contexts, the law habitually privileges and even actively promotes what it identifies as natural and native over the unnatural and exotic. Through the example of de-extinction, this article illustrates the limitations of the law’s reliance on these crude dualisms. Currently, de- extinct species will often be obstructed as non-native and introduced (even Professor of Law and Director, Center for Land, Environment, and Natural Resources, University of California, Irvine School of Law; Member Scholar, Center for Progressive Reform. The author thanks the other participants in conferences, workshops, and meetings at the National Geographic Society, the Stanford Law School, and the National Academy of Sciences for their useful insights. I am indebted to Dan Burk, Michael Robinson-Dorn, and especially Andrew Torrance for helping me work through many of the issues explored in the paper, as well as Ava Azad, Andrew Contreiras, John Frank, and Andrea Ringer for their valuable research assistance.

Open Quaternary, 2: 7, pp. 1–9, DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.5334/oq.25 ENGAGEMENT PAPER The Draft Genome of Extinct European Aurochs and its Implications for De-Extinction This article has been corrected here: Mikkel-Holger S. Sinding*,† and M. Thomas P. Gilbert*,‡,§ Whether as a cave painting, a mounted skeleton in a museum, or as described in ancient texts, the extinct aurochs has long mesmerized humans. In the context of genetics, aurochs have been targeted since the early days of the establishment of ancient DNA techniques, and for two decades analyses of its mitochon- drial genome have considerably deepened our knowledge of this animal. These studies have produced major discoveries, such as how cattle were domesticated from aurochs through at least two separate events. However, answers to many other aspects of its evolutionary history require more than the sequence from a single non-recombining marker such as the mitochondrial genome. Of these questions, perhaps one of the most fascinating is whether domestic cattle and wild aurochs continued to cross-breed following the initial domestication event, and if so, to what extent? Resolving this question would provide valuable new insights into how our ancestors domesticated cattle and subsequently manipulated their gene pool. In addition, it will become increasingly relevant as we enter the de-extinction debate. Are we witnessing the recovery of information that might, in the not too distant future, allow the re-creation of aurochs through selective back breeding of carefully chosen modern cattle lineages?

  • Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene
    Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene by Rua Alshaheen A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Renata Hejduk, Chair Braden Allenby Ed Finn Darren Petrucci ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2019 ©2019 Rua Alshaheen All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Public awareness of nature and environmental issues has grown in the last decades and zoos have successfully followed suit by re-branding themselves as key representatives for conservation. However, considering the fast rate of environmental degradation, in the near future, zoos may become the only place left for wildlife. Some scholars argue that we have entered a new epoch titled the “Anthropocene” that postulates the idea that untouched pristine nature is almost nowhere to be found.1 Many scientists and scholars argue that it is time that we embraced this environmental situation and anticipated the change. 2 Clearly, the impact of urbanization is reaching into the wild, so how can we design for animals in our artificializing world? Using the Manoa School method that argues that every future includes these four, generic, alternatives: growth, discipline, collapse, and transformation3, this dissertation explores possible future animal archetypes by considering multiple possibilities of post zoo design.
