Can we make a real life Jurassic Park. I know that my title sounds flashy and improbable. However, there have been new studies that deem that it may be possible.Extinction has caused the biodiversity of our world to drop massively. And scientists say that the biodiversity of the world may drop by 27% in vertebrates by 2050. This is devastating as I'm aware all of you know.However, this is not what I'm here to talk about. An institute in the United States named Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences, which I' ...

Company Overview - Colossal Biosciences is a genetic engineering company focused on de-extinction of species like the direwolf and woolly mammoth [2] - Colossal aims to undo past human actions that led to extinction [3] De-extinction Technology - De-extinction involves extracting DNA from ancient remains and editing genes of current relatives to create embryos or eggs of extinct animals [3] - Peter Jackson, director of Lord of the Rings, is partnering with Colossal and providing access to 300-400 Moa bones [4] Moa Bird Project - The Moa was a 13.5 ft (approximately 4.11 meters), 500 lb (approximately 226.8 kilograms) giant bird native to New Zealand, with nine known species [1] - Humanity hunted the Moa to extinction approximately 600 years ago [2] - The goal is to provide the resurrected Moa with a natural environment [4] Conservation and Ethical Considerations - Ecologists raise concerns about potential risks associated with de-extinction technologies and the release of resurrected species into the environment [5] - Colossal believes bringing back extinct species can highlight the biodiversity crisis [5]
