The co-founder of Colossal Biosciences makes the climate case for bringing back extinct species like the woolly mammoth and the dodo. Colossal say de-extinction through gene editing techniques could have positive impacts for conservation and improving biodiversity. But the environment has changed completely since mammoths roamed the earth, so we’ll examine how realistic those climate claims are.
