But despite the huge successes of this kind of intervention, conservation innovator Ryan Phelan points out that fear of unintended consequences often stifles innovation — risking further extinction. She makes the case for embracing the “intended consequences“ of genetic tools that have the power to restore Earth’s balance, abundance and biodiversity.
