"The bluebuck represents a pivotal step forward for Colossal and conservation, marking our first major focus on antelope conservation. Every reproductive technology, genome editing protocol, and conservation tool we develop through this effort is designed to scale."
"By focusing on the bluebuck, we're not only working to restore a lost species, but also building solutions that can help protect other endangered species in the future."
Colossal Biosciences is working to bring back the bluebuck, an antelope extinct for 230 years, by modifying the genes of its living relatives. The company has made significant progress over two years and is exploring rewilding sites in South Africa for potential release. The bluebuck was the first species entirely wiped out by humans, with the last known individual killed around 1800. CEO Ben Lamm emphasizes the project's importance for antelope conservation and the development of scalable reproductive technologies and genome editing protocols.
