# Intrusive Conservation Projects Michail Vanis Suggests Genetic Modification By Simal Yilmaz | Published 2013-02-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michail-vanis References: [we-make-money-not-art](http://we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2013/02/neonature.php) & [mikevanis](http://mikevanis.com/) Michail Vanis has some incredibly controversial views on the [conservation movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolphin-conservation) that may cause a lot of stir in the sciences and the ethics realm. In his project Neo-nature, Vanis invites his audience to contemplate on the idea of [genetically modifying animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-and-pairwise) as an alternative conservation technique, to make them suitable to the newly formed environment that we as humans have formed and that they are dying from. The role of the human race on the planet is a concept that is radically disagreed upon by many people. Michail Vanis invites people to challenge the perhaps too readily accepted view on [preserving our environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildtrack) exactly how we have found it and to take more pride and ownership of the technology we have so spectacularly developed over the centuries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Genetic Modification of Animals:** Exploring the use of genetic modification to adapt animals to changing environments presents disruptive innovation opportunities in conservation. - **Neo-nature:** The concept of Neo-nature challenges traditional ideas of environmental preservation and opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the conservation field. - **Questioning Preservation Methods:** Encouraging critical examination of preservation methods and challenging the status quo fosters disruptive innovation in the conservation movement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Environmental Conservation:** The environmental conservation industry can explore the disruptive innovation potential of genetic modification techniques in combating changing environments. - **Biotechnology:** The biotechnology industry can contribute to disruptive innovation in conservation by developing genetic modification technologies for enhancing animal adaptability. - **Ethics Policies and Studies:** The ethics realm can examine and address the ethical implications of genetic modification and disruptive conservation techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Advanced Biodiversity-Monitoring Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech4nature-project.md) - [Fungi-Inspired Multidisciplinary Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-void.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Contemporary Conservationist Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvascope-treehouse.md) - [Nature-Celebrating Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-predates-man.md) - [Wildlife Awareness Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-cards.md) - [Provocative Eco Screensavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planetsaving-screen-savers.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Multi-Sensory Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadia-earth-toronto-benjamin-von-wong.md)
