The company Colossal launched on Monday with the goal of bringing back the extinct woolly mammoth.
Tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and biologist George Church raised $15 million to “rapidly advance the field of species de-extinction.”
Using gene editing, the company hopes to imbue elephant DNA with mammoth characteristics. Their goal is to reintroduce the mammoth to the Arctic tundra to revitalize the grasslands there.
