The Colossal Foundation
The Colossal Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to make extinction a thing of the past by infusing conservation efforts with technological innovation. They focus on rapidly deploying advancements in areas like genetic rescue, AI, machine learning, and computational biology to aid endangered species. Their three key programs include saving at-risk species through genetic rescue, conducting vital research and development for conservation technologies, and building a genetic repository (biobank) for biodiversity. The Foundation partners with conservation experts, local communities, and Indigenous peoples globally to implement these solutions, supporting species such as the vaquita, Sumatran rhino, Javan rhino, and northern quoll. They emphasize challenging the status quo in conservation by providing tools and funding to partners on the ground.
