Finding 'lost' life is wonderful. But I sure would rather see a great deal more fanfare and effort into keeping the 'present' life forms from hitting the extinct list.

That's an excellent point. What is interesting is how this could apply to a seed bank and "resurrecting" extinct species. I'm not a scientist, but I would suppose that having the ability to bring back ancient plants and animals would indicate the ability to do so with more recently extinct species.

You are absolutely correct!
