I suppose creatures large enough to be visible and not too dangerous to humans tend to be intrinsically desirable to us and heartwarming to restore from near extinction, but I don’t really understand why it matters in the big picture given that millions of species have gone and will continue to go extinct because of forces largely outside of human control and whose extinction hardly impacts humans.
In this case, we seem to be spending an enormous amount of resources for the ostensible purpose of restoring an infinitesimal amount of intrigue and cuteness in our world.

IF you bothered to read the article you'd know that they became extinct precisely because of humans and the introduction of outside predators to the NZ ecosystem.

Looks like you are not disagreeing with anything I actually said, but just being patronizing in refuting something you wholly imagined I said and did or didn’t.
