Recommendation
For this scientific essay, Ross Anderson, senior editor at The Atlantic, treks through Siberia with Nikita Zimov, the director of Pleistocene Park. The goal of Zimov's project is to stall climate change by restoring the Mammoth Steppe grasslands ecosystem. One item is still on the to-do list: Resurrect the woolly mammoth. Anderson writes a compelling and objective evaluation of this fantastically ambitious project and the determined actors behind it. getAbstract predicts you will be astonished, concerned and awed – all at the same time.
