Colossal Biosciences Aims to Preserve Genomes of 10,000 Animal Species

Colossal Biosciences, the company known for its efforts to revive the dire wolf, announced on February 3, 2026, a new initiative to preserve the genomes of 10,000 animal species. The company aims to protect these species, facing potential extinction, by preserving their genetic information, offering a chance for them to potentially "walk or swim or fly the Earth again" in the future, according to Time.

The announcement comes amid growing concerns about biodiversity loss. The Center for Biological Diversity estimates that approximately 30% of known species could face extinction by 2050. Colossal Biosciences hopes to combat this trend by creating a genetic library that could be used for future conservation efforts or even de-extinction projects.

Colossal Biosciences gained recognition last spring for its work on bringing back the dire wolf after 10,000 years of extinction, according to Time. The company's new project represents a significant expansion of its efforts to use genetic technology to address the global extinction crisis.
