And has much as a Chinese river dolphins have no direct impact on your life, it does mean that larger a larger ecosystem of plant and animal life is effected which could have an impact on your life.
Everything you have comes from this planet, and if we don’t have the diversity or natural resources, then we have nothing. Your food, computer, house, clothes and everything else doesn’t just appear out of thin air you know  . The more animals and plants that become extinct the less we have to live off of.
Alright I know, I know, kinda sounds like hippy talk...but that doesn’t make it untrue!

Heehee, I suppose not, but the tree planting I’m referring to isn’t really the environmental kind...more the capitalist kind (I have to pay for school somehow!)

They have cloned people’s pets before, so I’m pretty sure it is advanced enough to clone a couple dolphins.
yeah, but it’s not that easy.

Ha, well that’s not really a soloution.
But also, it’s veeeerry expensive to do.
There’s a lot more to an animal then just it’s genes, you can’t just clone something and then throw it back into the wild and hope it’ll live.
There’s HUGE ethical problems with that as well, just on the environmental side. What would the impacts of clones in the wild do? What about clone offspring? Gene defects? disease. I dunno lots of stuff.

Are the dolphins completely extinct or are there a few left?

I’m pretty sure they are completely gone. They can’t find any more.

Well it was only declared functionally extinct. They aren’t 100% sure it’s completely extinct. If they have some of the DNA then in a few years when we have the tech we can probably bring them back.

I think it’s faulty reasoning to assume that we can recreate what nature has taken eons to do (see my note above ).
From my knowledge, it seems to me we end up mucking things up more then fixing them when we assume we know more then we really do.
