The American red wolf is endangered. These 'ghost genes' could save it
American red wolves are critically endangered due to historical extermination by humans, prompting a serious conservation effort to save the species.
To conserve biodiversity, create spaces where natural selection is allowed free rein
Genetic diversity is crucial for the survival of species under changing environmental conditions.

Rewinding human mistakes': can IVF save the world's most threatened species?
Scientists have performed the first successful embryo transfer in a related white rhino species, bringing the world closer to saving the critically endangered northern white rhino.
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) could be a game-changer for conservation efforts and help mitigate the effects of climate change and habitat loss.
The technology is viewed as a last-ditch effort to preserve cornerstone species and genetic diversity in various endangered species before they reach a terminal decline.
