the full circle moments are amazing

AYO GET EM GET EM GET EM

Ok so the thing that the doctor was worried about Damira finding out about was that they're killing the bulls for money in order to sustain the preserve.

WAIT IS DAMIRA GONNA DIE? IS SHE GOING TO GET SHOT?

now there are three herds that's fantastic

""The elephant is enormous, but it is not as gigantic as the history of human exploitation.""

I'm really liking this. I'm starting to care more about the other POVs besides Damira's, but I do wish we had more of her lol

.....and this dude is your husband?

So bc the mammoths don't have any natural predators, and the government wants the preserve to be self-sustaining. Therefore, they allow some people to pay huge amounts of money to hunt some of the bulls.

ok now that I'm used to his voice, we're good lol. but can't lie, I really only care about Damira's POV

YEAH GET EM GET EM

""You will teach them how to be wild again!""
yeah that's great BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE POACHERS COME FOR THEM? Reserve this, reserve that. We all know poachers NOW sneak into reserves to kill. What are they doing to stop the actual problem? I'm so confused about that part, bc this could just get Damira killed and then what?

No, she's got a point. Yeah, you may have brought this species back, but for how long? Poaching is the problem; extinction is just a side effect. You've essentially just brought back more animals for them to slaughter.

OOOOOOKAY that makes more sense. They couldn’t get an elephant to do it bc they’re extinct, and the captive elephants they’ve got have never spent a day in the wild. Practically every elephant left has no memory of the wild, let alone any inherited memory from their parents

PAUSE THOUGH if it’s 100 years in the future, and the elephants are extinct, what about global warming? They put the mammoths in Siberia for the cold factor, but has global warming been reduced in such a way that the mammoths can actually survive there?

They brought the mammoths back to bring the species back and reestablish the environment. They created a national preserve for them

Oh ok. So now there are no more wild elephants. Bro this is bleak

HOLY SHIT they brought her back A WHOLE CENTURY after she was murdered?

Well that would check for Putin tbh

DAMN so she’s been a mammoth for 50 years?! She said “half a century ago”

The male narrator’s voice is really deep, so it’s difficult to understand him sometimes. However, they’re both good at narrating this.
I’m intrigued, but why didn’t they just get an elephant to help the mammoths?

Very good.
