Voice 1 
Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Luke Haley.
Voice 2 
And I'm Robin Basselin. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
Voice 1 
Imagine standing in a large city. You are surrounded by people and buildings. The sky is blue. The sun is shining. Suddenly, you hear a sound far away. It sounds like a storm. But that is not possible. There is no storm.
Voice 2 
You look up. There in the sky, you see a dark cloud. It is not a storm cloud. It is a cloud made of birds - millions and millions of birds. It is more birds than you have ever seen before. This cloud of birds is so large that it takes more than an hour for the birds to pass over you.
Voice 1 
These birds are passenger pigeons. In the 1800s, they were the most common birds in all of North America. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons - groups that made a sound like a storm. There were groups of pigeons so large that it took hours for them to pass a single place.
Voice 2 
But there was a problem. For many years, people destroyed the forests where passenger pigeons lived. People also hunted passenger pigeons for food. And today, there are no passenger pigeons anywhere in the world. The last passenger pigeon died on September 1, 1914. Passenger pigeons are extinct.

Voice 1 
Today, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life. These scientists believe it is possible. They would do this using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process de-extinction. Today's Spotlight is on the possibility of de-extinction.
Voice 2 
Passenger pigeons are only one extinct animal. There are many more. Millions of years ago, a very large animal lived on earth. This animal was the woolly mammoth. It was the same size as an elephant. It was covered in thick, dark hair. It had large, white, ivory teeth called tusks. Scientists think that woolly mammoths began to disappear because the earth’s climate changed. They did not have enough food. However, they also died because of people. Ancient humans hunted and killed woolly mammoths. Humans used the tusks to make weapons and tools. Humans also ate woolly mammoth meat. Together, climate change and hunting killed all the woolly mammoths.
Voice 1 
Passenger pigeons and woolly mammoths demonstrate an important problem. It is a problem that still exists today: humans can cause extinction. You may remember other Spotlight programs about endangered species. These are kinds of animals that are in danger of becoming extinct. When an animal is endangered, there are very few of that animal left on earth. This often happens because of human behaviour. People have caused large changes in the places animals live and the food they eat. People also hunt some of these animals for money or food. And if the remaining endangered animals die, they will become extinct.
Voice 2 
Elephants, small koala bears, and large albatross birds are endangered animal species. All of them are endangered because of people. However, people have also tried to solve this problem in many different ways. Laws protect endangered animals from hunters. Other laws protect the forests and land where these animals live. Some endangered animals are kept in separate, safe places, called sanctuaries.
Voice 1 
Some scientists believe that de-extinction may be another solution to this problem. They hope that new technology and scientific knowledge will help them bring some extinct animal species back to life.
