Colossal Biosciences, a company specializing in biotechnology and genetic engineering, announced its plan to recreate this species. The company’s plans are now well advanced, and a team of scientists managed to sequence the bird’s DNA. Such DNA will be placed in specific cells of the dodo’s closest living relative, the Nicobarian monkey. Skeptics say that this will not bring back the dodo, but only a bird that closely resembles it. However, the creators of the project believe that this “resurrection” is to symbolize the enormous effort that has been put into nature conservation. This is to take place in 2028.
