“The spin around it has been wrong,” he says. “If we allow what is happening to continue we’re going to very quickly lose the rock art in Murujuga.”

I need people to understand that the animals genetically engineered by Colossal are not dire wolves. They have not performed 'de-extinction,' and it's misinformation to claim otherwise. It's incredibly worrying and damaging to conservation because things like this were bound to happen:
Trump team cites wolf ‘de-extinction’ as it seeks to cut endangered species list
