My Answer:

1.resurrection science

Traveling the world from Kenya (in search of the white rhino) to a lab in California (where a geneticist is trying to resurrect the extinct passenger pigeon), O’Connor reports on the people and places on the front lines of what has become known as resurrection science.

2. climate change

Most of us are aware that climate change is altering habitats and environments. What we don’t necessarily think about is that by changing habitats and environments, we’re influencing the forces that act upon evolution.

3. the species problem

One of the problems conservationists face is that there’s no clear definition of what a species is. Explain “the species problem” and how this can alter an animal’s status.

RESURRECTION SCIENCE
CLIMATE CHANGE
SPECIES PROBLEM

[ARUP]

1)RESURRECTION
Resurrection is a word normally associated with Jesus. That’s not what you mean, is it?
It’s only recently become a term used to describe the de-extinction effort.

2) CLIMATE CHANGE
climate change is altering habitats and environments.

3)the species problem
The species problem is essentially, how do we define a species? Before the 19th century, people believed a species was divinely created and had fixed identities.
