There is very little known about the habits and extinction of the Zulu ambush katydid. It is currently listed as critically endangered or possibly extinct under criteria B2, which is 'small area of occupancy'. It is only known from two specimens collected in 1922 from two different areas of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Even at that time, the two specimens would have struggled to overcome habitat fragmentation, as the two areas were far apart. It is speculated that it struggled to compete with cattle and other animals that ate the grass within its range. Exotic timber plantations & crops such as maize/corn would have also altered its habitat, making survival difficult. Although Jurassic Park is fiction, scientists are working on several de-extinction projects. In fact, in 2003 scientists did bring back the extinct Pyrenean ibex, a type of wild goat, for 7 minutes before it died, showing de-extinction is possible. The Zulu ambush katydid might be a candidate. Scientists would potentially use DNA from the two museum specimens. Organizations like Conservation South Africa are working with the government, farmers, and the private sector on initiatives to protect lands in South Africa and have set many goals by 2030. South Africa is working to solve its environmental issues such as water pollution, air pollution, land degradation, solid waste pollution, and deforestation. South Africa has been working with other countries and organizations like the USAID to look for climate-friendly development that minimizes greenhouse gasses while maintaining a strong economy. If the Zulu ambush katydid was brought to life, could it ever be reintroduced to its native homeland in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa?
