Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have surveyed Swedish public opinion on using biotechnology to revive extinct species like the aurochs, with responses showing unexpected positivity. The aurochs disappeared from Sweden in the 11th century and from the rest of Europe by the 17th century. Biologists note that the aurochs' unique foraging behavior in forests created ecological conditions that supported other species' survival.
Professor Jesper Stage expressed surprise at the lack of Jurassic Park or Frankenstein references in public feedback, highlighting openness to biotech in conservation.
