According to Reuters, some scientists have come up with a unique solution to the fact that several African species are endangered:
Scientists are proposing reintroducing large mammals such as elephants, lions, cheetahs and wild horses to North America to replace populations lost 13,000 years ago.
The scientists say that not only could large tracts of North America act as breeding sanctuaries for species of large wild animals under threat in Africa and Asia, but that such ecological history parks could be major tourist attractions.
Wait a minute, wasn’t there a movie about something like this ? Oh yeah, I think it was called………Jurassic Park.
I can just see it now……elephants wandering off the Great Plains and into the streets of downtown Des Moines. Yeah, that’ll work.
