Colossal Biosciences plans to create a woolly mammoth-like hybrid by 2028 using gene editing to help restore Arctic grasslands and slow permafrost thaw.
Colossal Biosciences aims to create a woolly mammoth-like hybrid by 2028 using gene editing to insert cold-adaptation traits into Asian elephant cells.
The goal is to produce animals that could help restore Arctic grasslands and slow permafrost thaw, though they won’t be exact clones.
The company has tested gene edits in mice, producing woolly-coated offspring.
While proponents highlight potential benefits for climate and endangered elephant conservation, critics question the ethics, cost, and animal welfare, urging focus on existing threatened species.
Reintroduction would require extensive ecological and cultural planning.
