Synthetic biology as a way to support biodiversity conservation

 🌍🌿 As biodiversity loss is a critical issue impacting both our environment and our health, discovering innovative ways to measure biodiversity and implement conservation measures is vital.

🔍One approach is using synthetic biology, which allows us to read, modify, and design DNA segments to address challenges like invasive species, diseases, and wildlife trade.

⚖ However, it's essential to balance the benefits with potential negative consequences.
