Surprised about the last line in the table. Wouldn’t gene drives count? (Epistemic status: watched a netflix documentary about crispr, have not read the paper.)
Conservationists tend not to support gene drive interventions because they value the undisturbed state of the ecosystem, besides fearing unintended outcomes. We aren’t supportive of gene drives as an intervention at this time because they are still very hard to control and there would probably be complex issues with resistance.
I agree with what you said about conservationists, but it seems like the table as written is false? Maybe you reply, “eh, it’s a small table, the important thing is whether conservationists believe the statement”. In which case, fair.
