Colossal Biosciences, the world’s first de-extinction company, continues to make breakthroughs toward the return of long-lost species like the woolly mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, and dodo.
As the enterprise inches closer to the return of these extinct icons and drives advancements in crucial conservation technologies, it has formed a nonprofit organization, the Colossal Foundation, to impactfully disseminate these technologies.
A Texas-based 501(c)(3), the Colossal Foundation will focus on leveraging the extinction company’s technological innovations to support global partner-led conservation initiatives with $50 million in initial funding.
The foundation is launching with three core programmatic focuses: saving today’s at-risk species, research and development for conservation, and ensuring tomorrow’s biodiversity.
