Chapter 13 Abudul Gaku

She is shown vials which have the last genetic remaining of the black faced honeycreeper, a Hawaiian bird that is almost extinct. The ICR's collection of genetic material is known as the "frozen zoo." Kolbert takes a view of nature and wonders why species have to go extinct. Why do species have to be sacrificed to make room for humanity? - That is the big question.
