As the city filed it
Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco will provide a PowerPoint Presentation on the recent advancements in genome-based technologies and the promising solutions they may offer for conservation. However, they may also carry risks of ecological disruption and other unintended consequences. Your Toronto Zoo's conservation science team is working to better understand whether the growing interest in generating charismatic genetically modified organisms, like the woolly mammoth, is a valuable pursuit or an unnecessary distraction.
