Announcing a groundbreaking initiative at #NYCClimateWeek. Revive & Restore will launch the first-ever Biotech for Climate Resilience Fund - a $2M initiative combining cutting-edge genetic rescue technologies with marine climate solutions.

Thank you to @Tech_Networks and others for amplifying this team's exciting work! Projects like this show how interdisciplinary partnerships can tackle our planet's most pressing conservation challenges. @Ashlee_LaurenSB @BenJNovak1 @stewartbrand https://t.co/ZLllZ5QyWx

This high-risk, high-reward research could unlock revolutionary possibilities for protecting endangered species through cutting-edge biobanking technologies. We're witnessing the beginning of an incredible era in wildlife conservation!

This is the power of collaboration in action! The project brings together: @ZooBarcelona Foundation @UPFBarcelona @museuciencies @embl

The goal? Developing species-specific protocols to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) - potentially a game-changer for biodiversity preservation. iPSCs can theoretically develop into any cell type, opening new doors for conservation efforts.

This cutting-edge project combines AI and genomics to advance stem cell conservation for endangered species. The team is leveraging data from 250+ species across mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Exciting news in conservation science! Congratulations to Professor Tomas Marques-Bonet and the Barcelona CRYOZOO team on receiving one of the first grants from Revive & Restore's Applied Stem Cell Conservation Fund! A thread on this groundbreaking project ⬇️

Black-footed ferrets were once feared extinct. 🐾 For #WorldNatureConservationDay, Dr Samantha Wisely, @UF, @IUCNssc @congenetics, tells us how bold #conservation efforts and genetic tools could help this threatened species make a comeback. ➡️ https://t.co/uQTCwF3GHh

Read why genomics is foundational to smarter ocean conservation:

Kudos to Dr. Morin and the Cetacean Genomes Project team for this groundbreaking work that's revolutionizing marine conservation. 📷 Gray whale spyhopping | Sam Beebe

These high-quality genomes reveal critical insights about endangered species like the Vaquita and Gray Whale, showing severe population bottlenecks that inform urgent conservation priorities. Why does this matter? Better genomes = more informed conservation strategies.

New research funded by Revive & Restore and led by Dr. Phillip Morin at NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center has produced 18 "platinum-standard" genomes for whales, dolphins, and porpoises. https://t.co/2uUhEoH7JJ

By transitioning to synthetic alternatives to horseshoe crab blood for endotoxin testing, Sanofi & other leaders on the Sustainability Scorecard for Endotoxin Testing are de-risking vital supply chains and saving an ancient species. @charli_bing @TIME.

Congrats @sanofi on being named one of the world’s most sustainable companies because of their leadership in drug safety testing. https://t.co/oswM4ak34B

From coral reefs to endangered birds like Takahē, from black-footed ferrets to the tiniest monarch butterflies, stem cell technology offers hope for species facing limited reproductive capabilities, genetic bottlenecks, and environmental threats.

They can be generated non-invasively from other cells, unlocking new conservation technologies for fertility restoration, disease resistance engineering, and climate adaptation.

These remarkable pluripotent stem cells have the capacity to become any cell type in the body - including sperm and eggs.

Stem cells are emerging as a powerful tool in the fight to save endangered species from extinction. https://t.co/dHlAB7d9kB

Wildlife populations are declining at an alarming rate, and we need bold scientific solutions like this to prevent extinctions.

As Chester Zoo researcher Rhiannon Bolton notes, "If this works, it could be a total game-changer" - allowing us to collect genetic material from a far broader range of animals without causing harm.
