Colossal's Bluebuck Project Signals Strategy Shift Amid De-Extinction Controversy

The project represents a strategic shift, with CEO Ben Lamm emphasizing that the reproductive technologies developed will be open-sourced for conservation. However, the company continues to face criticism from ecologists who argue that flashy de-extinction announcements distract from efforts to save critically endangered species that still exist.
