Climate change is expedited and the ice caps melt,flooding the earth.
The remaining landmass left is prioritized for living spaces, dissolving farms, preserved lands and similar entities as technology has advanced far enough to manufacture resources. There is no room for anything that isn’t human, so the present day animals ,both domestic and wildlife, go extinct to the world’s anguish.
People want the animals back, to restore balance- and it is only years later, that the advanced revival technology is there to revival the animals- but the funding isn’t. To overcome this obstacle, an online interface called ARC, similar to non fungible token market, in which every animal is listed and represented by their DNA sequence. Monetary donations, or rather charity auction bids, contribute to each species revival- citizens and organizations charitable bids countless dollars to restore balance, to attempt at redemption..
The first animal is resurrected at 20 million amount of dollars- people rejoice at this step towards, but unexpected obstacles occur: numerous court cases are started over finding land to rehome the animals; is the animal available for public or private viewing; who owns the copyright of the animal and its byproducts. Additionally, resurrecting a single animal causes its digital DNA value to plummet- Thus there's a sudden economic detriment to reviving an entire species.Perhaps the human vision of the potential of the animal is more valuable than extinct than breathing. Reviving the animal destroys any market speculation and in turn destroys the market.
Because of the above issues, the ARC market updates its interface to encourage caution about resurrection and emphasizes that purchasing a DNA sequence is about ownership. There is much pressure to keep the DNA strands as a commodity, due to all of the economic ramifications and the fact due to these token are much ecological to the earth as they do not take so many resources as other currencies such as dollars and bitcoin- humanity has found a way to montainze extinction.
