The possibility of diversifying species in order to protect a particular species seems a relevant, important thing to consider... but will it work? I don't know. Has it worked? Is there evidence that a threatened species has survived because it was protected? I have a sense the process of natural selection may not be controlled, despite technology and concerted efforts. History of evolution has illustrated that "the strong survives"... If we employ various methods to diversify, interbreed, or entirely separate then perhaps it will inhibit the destruction of species. The important question for me is what should be diversified? What merits this action? Plants? Animals? Something to consider as diversification is explored and utilized.
Please excuse the paragraph of questions...

How about strength through diversity?
It's funny~ I took this question in a different way, considering "diversification" to be natural. I suppose we could try to use technology to forcefully diversify a species, but we'd probably get ourselves into as much trouble as we have by mono-cropping. I agree that nature should be left alone. The inherent order of the universe is infinitely more intelligent and sensical than our technologies could ever hope to be.
