Support Research Bringing Lost Species Back!

Harvard-linked U.S. biotech startup Colossal Biosciences just claimed that they will bring back the woolly mammoth within six years. It’s at least somewhat plausible, and could make possible a major climate solution.

Advancements in genetic science are making it possible to restore species lost to extinction, offering hope for ecosystems disrupted by human activity. With the right support, de-extinction research could revolutionize conservation, strengthen biodiversity, and heal fragile environments. Let’s push for policies that invest in a future where nature thrives!
