Through our genetic rescue toolkit, we help ensure a brighter future for wildlife.
What We Do
Enhance biodiversity through the genetic rescue of endangered and extinct species
Biotechnology can be used to enhance genetic diversity, build disease resistance, and facilitate adaptation in species. Yet, biotechnology tools remain underutilized in wildlife conservation. Revive & Restore is the leading wildlife conservation organization promoting the incorporation of biotechnologies into standard conservation practice. Our mission is to enhance biodiversity through the genetic rescue of endangered and extinct species.
Our Approach
We facilitate partnerships, catalyze technology solutions, and fund high-impact research — all to build a better future for wildlife. Our vision is to revive biodiversity and restore ecosystems for millennia to come.
To achieve our vision, we take on three important roles:
Convene
We host workshops that bring together a global network of experts around a central idea. We establish priorities, align funders, and nurture collaborations for tangible conservation outcomes.
Advance
We coordinate research and development projects that apply biotechnologies to pressing conservation challenges. As a small and agile organization, we can be both experimental and strategic with our projects.
Fund
We fund transformative, early-stage projects that test biotechnologies in the field. Through our Wild Genomes and Advanced Coral Toolkit programs, we support compelling examples of genetic rescue in action.
“In a world filled with challenges, I’m inspired by organizations that bring hope, optimism and solutions. And that’s YOU — Revive & Restore. Learning how to leverage biotechnology for conservation is a crucial capability for humanity to survive and thrive. I’m grateful that you’re helping lead the way.”
