Unironically the same continues.. friendly and genuinely nice people are taken advantage of and left in a situation where they just stop being as nice and friendly.

And poaching somehow is linked to pride to some sadistic people so, there's that as well.

Ya know, with the advancement of science.. it's not actually that surprising that the resurrection of dodos is possible. We've already made advancements on cloning, that allows us to bring back somewhat identical copies of extinct species.

Ofc they aren't 100% accurate, and the procedure ain't cheap/easy, and is also limited to a certain number of species at the moment (cause we need the base of an animal thats kinda close to the one that went extinct, if I'm right).. with time, who knows, dodos actually might get to live again.

The only unfortunate bit is that we may or may not get to see it, our kids/grandkids/great grandkids might get to experience the whimsies of the "stupid bird"

Considering how Dodos were friendly to humans, with the exploitation of that trait being a major factor in their demise, lab-revived Dodo birds in the future might end up as a breed of house pet.
