Too bad that even in this late stage of this animals existence, with at least some gamekeepers and noblemen actually realizing the animal was on the verge of extinction, still nothing could be done to prevent it. With current knowledge we would have said to those 16th century 'conservationists': add some non-wild cattle to broaden the genetic basis and maybe you'll be able to conserve a herd of semi-aurochs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222590081823739642.post-19189149441121603612015-09-17T15:27:12.966-07:002015-09-17T15:27:12.966-07:00Another very interesting article.

I appreciate that you are quite busy with your studies but I wonder if in some time in the future you might cover Jens Christian Svenning's work on rewilding especially his recent project where he is studying the ecological impact of Indian Elephants released on a small patch of ground outside Randers tropical Zoo in Denmark. He believes that elephants should be released to improve natural areas as a proxy for the Straight Tusked Elephant. From reconstructions, it looks to me that apart from being taller with longer, straighter tusks they are very similar to Indian elephants. I don't know if it is possible to genetically test how close they are due to the age of the Straight Tusked remains but it would bring up interesting possibilities if closely related.
