New Zealand could save humanity from extinction-level pandemic New Zealand could save humanity from extinction in the event of a catastrophic global extinction-level pandemic, researchers have found. The researchers, from the University of Otago's Wellington campus and Adapt Research, have ranked 20 island nations which could act as a 'lifeboat' for refugees, based on their population, location, resources and society. The results, published in the international journal Risk Analysis, showed New Zealand as the second-best country from which large-scale technological society could be rebuilt - just behind our neighbour, Australia. The lead author of the study, Dr Matt Boyd, research director at Adapt Research, says humans could unleash a modified organism with the potential to kill all of humankind. "The worst-case scenario could see multiple genetically engineered pandemic organisms being released at once," he says. "We need to be ready for these situations. Our study shows that certain island nations have the characteristics needed to preserve technological culture through a catastrophic event.".....................
