## Resource

The U.S. government and Colossal Biosciences are launching a massive genetic preservation effort, building a national DNA vault for over 2,000 endangered species—essentially a Noah’s Ark for genetic material. Samples will be frozen and stored for future conservation, offering a critical backup as habitat protections weaken and threats like offshore drilling rise. Inspired by past cloning successes, this ambitious BioVault project—backed by tens of millions and expanding globally with partners like the UAE—aims to safeguard biodiversity through cutting-edge science, sparking debate over whether it’s true preservation or a desperate last resort.
