That we can bring species back doesn't mean that we should do that.There may be much benefit of reviving(使复生) a species，but there's no way to know how it will turn out. 24 Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation. 25 If we can correct our mistake，why not use the chance to do that?
