I'm delighted to share the announcement that Colossal Biosciences has now launched the Colossal Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit arm of Colossal, and has kicked off with an initial $50 million of secured funding targeted at stopping the coming extinction crisis. As well as preserving and increasing populations of endangered and at-risk animals, Colossal is working to de-extinct Tasmanian apex predator and keystone species, the Thylacine 🐾 https://lnkd.in/g9DYuf-M https://lnkd.in/geAY8HCm Colossal Biosciences Ben Lamm Andrew Pask

So interesting to have Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal Biosciences as one of our Global Leader interviews on BBC Television. Wildlife plays a critical role in keeping our ecosystems like forests, grasslands and oceans intact and healthy, which in turn helps in our fight against climate change. The Global Rewilding Alliance is a network of over 170 organisations working in more than 70 countries, its aim is to re-establish native breeds in over 100 million hectares of land. But one tech science firm in the US is going one step further, teaming up with re:wild, Colossal is developing de-extinction technology that reverses plant and animal extinctions by creating new versions of previously lost species. So far, the Pyrenean ibex, is the only animal to have survived de-extinction past birth, but Colossal says it will produce a woolly mammoth calf born from genetically modified elephant cells by 2028. Many thanks to Chloé Kingscote for all your help and patience getting this interview on air.

American Humane’s inaugural 90-minute documentary throws a vital spotlight on critical efforts that may be among the last, best chances to save one million species on the verge of a catastrophic mass extinction. Thanks to Robin Ganzert for hosting a private screening for our team with Director Matt Brady. Don't miss this film in theaters!
