Colossal Biosciences has announced its next de-extinction project: the return of the giant moa, a flightless bird native to New Zealand that vanished nearly 600 years ago. The effort, backed by filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson and led in partnership with South Island Māori leaders, aims to revive one of the world’s most iconic extinct species.
