How Colossal Biosciences Is Decoding the Secret Language of Wolves
The Colossal Foundation supports over 40 species globally using cloning, AI monitoring, and vaccines, doubling funding to $100M in 2025 to accelerate biodiversity recovery efforts.
- This year, the Colossal Foundation secured $100 million to scale programs over the next decade, expanding genetic rescue, rewilding, and monitoring globally.
- Facing accelerating biodiversity loss, the Foundation highlights extinction rates more than 100-fold above background and a biodiversity funding shortfall exceeding $700 billion annually.
- The Foundation's genetic rescue produced ghost-lineage wolves Neka Kayda, Ash, Blaze and Cinder carrying up to 72% red wolf ancestry and a complete reference genome.
- Two vaccinated juvenile elephants, Sanjay and Kabir, survived natural EEHV exposure this year, providing the first real-world evidence the mRNA vaccine prevents severe disease in calves.
- Earlier this year, the Foundation integrated Viagen's cloning platform, which has cloned 15 species with success rates approaching 80%, and launched the Species Reintroduction Fund with Re:wild, while deploying 48 AI sensors in Yellowstone to analyze over 200,000 hours of wolf audio.
