TL;DR Summary

Colossal Biosciences, a biotech startup co-founded by George Church, is working on de-extincting the Woolly Mammoth. Inspired by the movie Jurassic Park, the company aims to not only bring back extinct animals but also make endless discoveries through the pursuit of de-extinction. The CEO, Ben Lamm, argues that the real danger lies in the modern-day extinction caused by climate change, where there may not be enough animals left to support ecosystems. Colossal's research has already led to breakthroughs in genetic rescue and conservation efforts for elephants. Governments are now seeking their help to restore critically endangered animals.
