Part 5/7:
Colossal Biosciences is optimistic about the timeline for their first successful de-extinction. They aim to bring back the Tasmanian tiger within the next five years. This is a significant milestone, as it could pave the way for resurrecting other iconic species, such as the dodo bird or the woolly mammoth.
Currently, scientists are actively working on sequencing the genomes of these extinct animals and refining gene editing techniques. The success of these initiatives could revolutionize conservation efforts and open new pathways for ecological management.
