On the ancient Mayan stone tablet, there is engraved a heart stopping prophecy for countless future generations – the arrival of the end of the world.
Although December 21, 2012 had passed peacefully and Maya’s prophecy had not come true, this prophecy reminded us in another form of the fragility and preciousness of biodiversity.
In recent years, some species that are considered extinct have miraculously “resurrected”, becoming the focus of attention in the scientific community and the public.
Is the unexpected return of these species really a metaphor for Mayan prophecy, or is there a deeper scientific reason behind it? Explain the reasons behind this phenomenon and the importance of protecting biodiversity.
