All of them that we were responsible for ............................and the ones that we no doubt will cause extinction before we bring them back ................Little wonder why we always worry that AI might do the math and instantly realist that the earth would be much better off without us !

Protecting an endangered species is an issue of it's own. Nothing wrong with a company addressing separate issues. That's like telling a company that manufactures healthier food options to stop and instead teach people how to eat healthier. The two can co exist and address separate issues.

Forrest. Here's a question. I wonder if you would be interested in doing a show where you would travel back in time and bring back a multitude of extinct animals. A Prehistoric Kingdom?

I love how for the Carolina Parakeet you put a picture from RDR2. My favorite video game and the way I learned about them.

These are like my favorite videos I feel like nobody talks about this stuff. Maybe they do but you make these topics and your videos so easy to watch and understand without sounding like a monotone college lecture

I’ve actually seen the two northern white rhinos that are left. They are at the San Diego lion country safari park, and are spectacular. Another method the people there are attempting to bring back this species with is breeding them with their extremely similar relative, the southern white rhino. There would be very little genetic differences in the offspring as long as they use selective breeding effectively (which they definitely would).

San Diego is super involved in the push to bring back the NWR, and have been doing a lot of work with IVF using their SWR population. They are likely to be the first place to successfully breed a NWR via a SWR surrogate, but at the moment they have not produced any NWR offspring. But the remaining mother/daughter pair of the NWR are actually under armed guard in a Kenyan conservation park, while technically being owned by a Czech Zoo.

Great informative vid👍

Forrest, you are one of the most prominent, respected individuals in the fight to preserve the wildlife currently and recently lost on our planet. That said, one of my biggest pet peeves regarding animal based channels is the use of footage of the wrong species when discussing another. I feel it discredits the content producer and misguides those that are less informed on a species. All the footage of domestic ferrets used during your discussion on the plight of the black footed ferret is unfortunate. Things like that can derail your extremely important message. I really appreciate your hard work teaching and exposing your fan base to important conservation issues. Thank you for caring about our natural world.

Love to this kinda love towards animals can’t wait to join u in the summer forrest

Pirate software taught me about the black footed ferret, and it is also a crucial part of the ecosystem and if lived alongside well can even be beneficial to to us as well. Love you Forrest can't wait for the next podcast. X

Watching you be so passionate about these amazing animals makes me so happy and gives me hope for animals today

Hey Forrest love your work mate 👍 been a nature freak since i was a kid in the 70s still got the nat geo mags. Personally i think anything humans had a hand in should be must be brought back.

Forrest, you are my favorite wildlife expert online. Really cool topics and content of all sorts. I would love to see all these animals come back and inhabit their rightful environments all over again. Thanks for all you do.

I recently came across a video of the last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird's call as he waited for a mate who would never come, and I felt so devastated and couldn't help crying. That video was what got me interested in extinct animals and coming across your channel where you talk about the possibility of extinct animals returning, the videos of you going in search of rare animals and the pure joy and excitement you share with us when you actually find one was a ray of hope. I understand that the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō birds aren't significantly important to our eco system and bringing back animals from extinction is a really long and expensive process, but I hope that someday, those little birds can sing in real life again. I would love to hear your thoughts on the possibility of these birds being brought back, though!

Awesome Forrest🤟

Forest I love the content please keep posting

Love what you do forest you’re an amazing individual.

Your so damn cool man!!! My son and I absolutely love your videos and appreciate so much you making it so easy for beginners to learn from you in anything you do it’s amazing!! Anyway thank man and much love to you ❤

I love your videos. Even though the reality of our protection and conservation efforts is absolutely gut wrenching in some cases.

Hey forrest I am a 20 yr old young man who is interested in conservation. What are the best ways to get physically involved, should you have a degree, do you need one? what you do is life changing, what you do for these animals and our planet is inspiring. It would be a dream to help protect and help the survival of every species. Love the videos, never stop doing what you do!

My aunt was working for game and fish and was part of the black footed ferret project. I remember seeing them when I was a kid. I'm glad their hard work seems to be paying off.

I hope we can get quite a few of these back. The Carolina parakeet is one I talk about a lot, and I hope it gets a chance.

“Human beings directly lead to their extinction, and we had no right” Couldn’t agree more, but what’s to stop these revived creatures from being hunted again and again? Especially since we could theoretically just keep bringing them back.

Yeah, Human interaction is a bitch. It basically also means the Darby Sturgeon (Yuangtze River Sturgeon) went exctint in the wild and the Baji (Yuangtze River Dolphin) is virtually exctinct as well due to them damming off the Yuangtze and Yellow rivers, the natural range for these animals. Sadly, they often don't get enough recognition as needing to be saved, because they are Chinese animals. Due to that damming, the Chinese Paddlefish also has went exctint no later than 2010, although it was functionally exctinct in 1993, with it officially being declared in 2022.

Wow! this sounds awesome

I can’t wait for your next Thylacine expedition!

This is quality content

Would love more extinct or alive tv show!

I've seen a vaquita. Took a marine bio class near Bajia de Los Angeles and got to see a small pod. This was back in the 90s though.

fantastic video! With the possibility of bringing back extinct megafauna like the wooly mammoth and the wooly rhino, would the intention be to reintroduce them to the wild or would they most likely be kept exclusively in captivity? I would imaging it would be quite a shock to an ecosystem to suddenly have mammoths walking around again

Took me way longer than it should have to realise it there is a great auk that implies the existence of the auk, glad to see there is at least a facsimile around still to learn about.

Keep it up forest

I’m going to need a part 2

Hey Forrest, I really love your work, I'm your fan from India🇮🇳, you are awesome. I really wish that you visit India and explore Indian wildlife.

Please make videos on Top 10 favorite Prehistoric Documentary....

We owe these creatures to bring them back from extinction, especially those by our hands! Granted some don't have a place any longer but the opportunity to see a creature we only see in bones and animated stories would be amazing! ❤

It's technology like this that makes me happy about our species it reminds me we can do good with the things we create and I really hope I'm around to see the start of de-extinction technology used successfully.

This made me really emotional, think about the positive impact humans can have now that we have the tools to help conserve, reintroduce these endangered / extinct species back!

I like the content and think you are awesome but i can never take you seriously after seeing that windmill stunt you pulled in that survival reality show😂

I’d love to see the Carolina parakeet brought back!

Started on podcast which then started aiming towards youtube and no youtube just seems click bait. I dont normally leave bad stuff their original on podcast was awesome.

Love the Red Dead Redemption 2 picture for the Carolina Parakeet. There’s a secret mission in the game where you can actually kill the last remaining birds. You’ll get a notification that you have successfully wiped out the species. Wild.

Great video. Among conservationists in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe. here is a lot of discussion going on about bringing back extinct species: some say: shouldn't the resources put into this effort be better spent to protect endangered species that are still around and can be saved from extinction. Interesting to see how this evolves. One small note: did you really call mustelids rodents? A spoken word typo?

How do we support your thylacine research?

could youdo a video on the thylecoleo?

I have never seen a Vaquita, or a Carolina Parakeet, they are beautiful!

Hey Forrest have you heard of the CARES program? It’s an organization that identifies extinct or endangered fish in the wild. Aquarium hobbyists breed and keep endangered and extinct fish. Some efforts have been made to reintroduce some fish

Vaquita are in San Felipe? We go there every summer i had no idea.

It’s very likely the dwarf land crocodile mekosuchus that was arboreal could still persist in remote New Guinea and other remote South Pacific islands, and the Solomon Islands, a lot of new species found in those areas. Would be an epic rediscovery

In Australia they are working on bringing back both the Thylacine (you think could still be alive), and I believe the wooly mammoth as well.

As someone who's done work with state agencies working with the black footed ferret, it goes to show that successful conservation stories are possible!

Such a monumental wishful thinking. Extinct from mainland Australia over 3,000 years ago. You have to consider how large Australia is, for an animal to go extinct on a large content just proves how vulnerable they were. They remained on Tasmania because they were completely isolated, no chance of being out competed. New Guinea did have native wild dogs, Tasmania never did

So to become what you do. Idk what specific biologist you are. But what should I study in college to be able to do what you do?

Man I’m just ready to see one of these things

The Black Footed ferret conservation story is quite amazing, The captive breeding program was needed because the people sent to protect the ferrets in the wild accidentally carried canine distemper and decimated the population. I really am making a very long convoluted story into one easier to describe.

Anothers criptids that you can investigate: The RIVER LIZARDS/River Dinos, the beast of KHAIYR, the velociraptors from the Arica desert, the monster OF LAKE FOYLE, LAKE VAN MONSTER, PARTRIDGE CREEK MONSTER, etc.

I have an old book from the 50’s that still had the black footed ferret in it, i believe it also had an illustration of the Thylacine

Forrest has to be considered one of the coolest dudes on the planet

We had a discussion in our genetics lecture yesterday about whether we should breed northern and southern white rhinos to bring back the northern white rhino. Complicated subject but ultimately I think we should.
