New Zealand’s War on Rats Could Change the World - The Atlantic
'If Predator-Free 2050 makes the right choices, it can indeed change the world—but not with an unstoppable wave of gene-drive rodents. '
'All of this assumes that genes drives would be used to spread genes that kill or suppress pests outright. '
'Beginning as a grassroots movement, Predator-Free 2050 has picked up huge public support and official government backing. '
'But gene drives turn that coin toss into a guarantee, allowing traits to zoom through populations in just a few generations. '
'If Predator-Free 2050 achieved its goal, they could do so with relaxed smiles rather than gritted teeth. '
