Powering Progress : Innovation For Good

By Leah Crabtree | Project Leader

The recent exciting progress from Colossal Biosciences in their ambitious efforts to bring back the dire wolf serves as a powerful reminder of the extraordinary potential of advanced genetic technologies to reverse extinction. This groundbreaking work fuels our hope for a similar outcome for the northern white rhino, and we are so grateful to you for being a part of this journey.

As you are aware, only Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos, remain. Our efforts to secure the future of their subspecies rely heavily on pioneering scientific solutions, and Colossal Biosciences is a vital partner in this endeavor.

Colossal Biosciences has been actively contributing their cutting-edge expertise in genetic engineering to our mission. Their work significantly complements the successful IVF program led by the BioRescue consortium, which has already resulted in over 30 pure northern white rhino embryos. The progress Colossal is making with the dire wolf underscores the potential of these advanced techniques for the northern white rhino.

A key aspect of Colossal's continued involvement focuses on advanced stem cell techniques aimed at generating a greater diversity of reproductive cells from the valuable preserved genetic material of deceased northern white rhinos. This vital research, buoyed by Colossal's successes in other de-extinction efforts, aims to enhance the long-term genetic health and viability of any future northern white rhino populations.

Our ongoing partnership with Colossal Biosciences represents a powerful synergy of conservation efforts and scientific innovation.Their progress with the dire wolf provides tangible hope for the northern white rhino, and we want to express our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support, which makes all of this crucial work possible.
