Biotechnologies for Conservation and Their Intended Consequences

Ben Novak, Lead Scientist & Biotechnology for Bird Conservation Program Manager, Revive and Restore

Abstract

Revive & Restore is a nonprofit conservation organization leading the effort to responsibly integrate biotechnologies into conservation practice. Over the past decade the Revive & Restore has been driving the development of a suite of biotechnologies termed “the 21st Century Genetic Rescue Toolkit,” spanning the use of genomics information and established technologies to enhance conservation strategies, to driving cutting edge gene-editing research to create new opportunities for recovery of species including facilitated adaptation to disease and climate change, and even recreating ecologically functional equivalents to extinct species for habitat and biodiversity restoration. more >
