just heard the interesting proposal to have off-world orbiting wildlife preserves (to prevent human & invasive species interference) and it made me realize it's rarely specified what wildlife preserves are supposed to preserve

First guess would be that the idea is to preserve existing genetic/ecological diversity as Earth gets further changed/homogenized, and terraria would be less expensive than moving enough people to do the same on Earth, maybe?
yeah I wonder if it’s about preserving a “snapshot” of current diversity or allowing further diversity to evolve?

Leaving a colony to evolve would be *really* interesting, like taking an island colonization study to the next level

yeah that’s a lot more interesting to me!
