Founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneur Ben Lamm and renowned geneticist Dr. George Church, Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences is a biotechnology and genetic engineering company pioneering the field of de-extinction. Utilizing advanced technologies like CRISPR, Colossal aims to resurrect extinct species, including the Woolly Mammoth, Tasmanian Tiger, Dodo, and Dire Wolf, with the goal of restoring lost ecosystems and combating climate change. In April 2025, the company announced the birth of three genetically engineered wolf pups—Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—claiming them as the first "de-extincted" Dire Wolves. Colossal has raised significant funding, with over $200 million secured by early 2025, to advance its ambitious projects.

Texas is a large state located in the southern region of the United States. Its environmental landscape is varied, with several ecological regions within its borders, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and coastal areas.

Texas has a rich biodiversity, with over 5,000 species of animals and plants, many of which are endemic to the state. The state is home to several large mammals and a diverse bird population.

Unfortunately, many of Texas's native species are threatened or endangered. Habitat loss, pollution, and climate change are some of the factors contributing to their decline. Texas is also known for its oil and gas industry, which has significantly impacted the state's environment.

The United States, a vast and geographically diverse nation, encompasses a wide range of environmental landscapes and biodiversity. From the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest to the expansive deserts of the Southwest, and the iconic Everglades in Florida to the Appalachian Mountains in the East, the U.S. boasts a rich variety of ecosystems. However, this biodiversity faces multifaceted threats. Habitat loss due to urbanization and agriculture, pollution from industrial activities, climate change, and invasive species all contribute to ecological challenges. Conservation efforts are diverse and often involve collaboration between federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations, and local communities.&nbsp;

The Sumatran Rhinoceros is a critically endangered rhinoceros species found on the island of Sumatra and in Borneo. The remaining population of Sumatran Rhinoceros is estimated to be no more than 250 mature individuals. Habitat loss and fragmentation, primarily due to deforestation and illegal logging, are the main threats to their survival. Poaching for their horns, which are highly valued in traditional medicine, is also a significant factor contributing to their decline. Conservation efforts involve intensive anti-poaching measures, habitat protection, and captive breeding programs to prevent the extinction of this critically endangered rhinoceros species.

The Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) is the largest land mammal in Asia, characterized by its smaller ears compared to its African counterpart, and a distinctively domed head with a twin-humped shape. These intelligent and social animals live in matriarchal herds led by the oldest female, while males often lead solitary lives or form bachelor groups. Asian Elephants play a crucial ecological role as mega-herbivores, shaping ecosystems through seed dispersal, vegetation management, and creating water holes.The species is revered in many cultures across its range but faces increasing challenges due to habitat fragmentation, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching. Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection, wildlife corridors, anti-poaching measures, and fostering coexistence between humans and elephants.

The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is a critically endangered subspecies of the gray wolf, native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. The estimated remaining population of Mexican Gray Wolves is around 150 individuals. Historically, they faced habitat loss and persecution, and now face additional threats such as illegal shootings and genetic issues due to a small population size. Conservation efforts include captive breeding programs, reintroduction efforts, and managing conflicts with human activities to ensure their recovery and survival.

The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a canid species endemic found only in the southeastern United States. Once widespread throughout the region, the Red Wolf has faced severe population declines due to habitat loss, persecution, and hybridization with coyotes. The estimated remaining population is around 25 to 30 individuals in the wild, with additional individuals in captive breeding programs. Despite conservation efforts, it remains one of the rarest and most endangered canids in the world. Conservation efforts involve captive breeding and reintroduction programs, habitat restoration, and public education to save the species from extinction.
