What if the woolly mammoth were to roam the tundra again? Or if other vanished species could return thanks to biotechnology? Together with you, we will explore a promise that sounds like science fiction - and yet has long since become reality: the return of extinct species.

"Endings: The Return " - the new season of the podcast by Undone and Futurium, released in November 2025 - follows scientists who are trying to do just that. It raises questions that go far beyond the laboratory and research: Can we really turn back time? What does this say about our relationship with nature? Inspired by the findings of our podcast, our guests take a closer look at this vision. Between hope and hubris, technological possibilities and ethical questions, the focus is on the limits of what is possible - and what role these technologies could play in the future. How will "bringing nature back" affect the future of our landscapes, biodiversity and use of resources? Ultimately, everything revolves around the question of how we as humanity want to live together with nature: as guardians, creators or repairers.

This is a joint event by UNDONE and Futurium, House of Futures
