GEO magazine and BETC Fullsix agency has unveiled an unprecedented editorial and creative project: to bring back to life in photographs five animal species that have disappeared due to human activity. Thanks to artificial intelligence and close collaboration with the world's leading specialists in these species, the couagga, Steller's sea cow, the dodo, the thylacine, and the koala lemur are brought back to life in strikingly realistic images. This is an essential work of remembrance and awareness-raising at a time when the disappearance of living species is accelerating. This ambitious project responds to a dual challenge: to use artificial intelligence in an ethical and scientifically rigorous manner to create photographs of extinct animals that are 'as true to life as possible.' To achieve this, GEO and BETC Fullsix mobilised a multidisciplinary team of internationally renowned journalists, creatives, biologists, and palaeontologists. Under the leadership of Sylvie Redon-Clauzard, science journalist for GEO, the project benefited from the expertise of:
-Éric Buffetaut (palaeontologist at the CNRS) and Jolyon Parish (palaeontologist) for the selection of species and information about the dodo -Daryl Domning (paleontologist at Howard University, Washington) for the Steller's sea cow -Stephen Sleightholme (director of the International Thylacine Specimen Database) for the thylacine -Peter Heywood (biologist at Brown University, Providence) for the couagga -Laurie Godfrey (palaeontologist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst) for the koala lemur
