It’s not just about pets, it’s about purpose.
This rapid loss of biodiversity is outpacing traditional conservation methods, leaving ecosystems more fragile, species more vulnerable, and time increasingly scarce.
Genetics Lost
Genetics Found
At Viagen, we believe the future of conservation must go further than protection. It must focus on restoration. That’s why our cloning technology has partnered with the world’s leading genomics company, Colossal Biosciences, to pioneer new approaches that blend advanced cloning, cutting-edge genomics, and reproductive science. Together, we are building a new blueprint for biodiversity, one that doesn't just defend what’s left, but actively works to rebuild what has been lost.
CLONING FOR CONSERVATION
TRUSTED INSTITUTIONS
Viagen is a global leader in applying advanced cloning to conservation not in theory, but in practice. Our work has already contributed to some of the most significant milestones in species restoration. From the first successful cloning of a black-footed ferret and a Przewalski's horse, Viagen’s cloning expertise is helping conservationists preserve genetic diversity, reintroduce lost lineages, and prevent population collapse.
But our impact goes far beyond a few breakthrough cases. In partnership with institutions like the San Diego Zoo, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Colossal Foundation, we've played a key role in
preserving and reviving the genetics of a wide range of species including the white rhino, black rhino, Florida bonneted bat, Perdido Key beach mouse, Indiana bat, and Grevy's zebra.
These aren’t symbolic projects. They are real-world applications of Viagen’s world-leading cloning technology, used to turn cryopreserved cells into living animals, res tore critical genetic variation, and help entire species recover from the edge of extinction. For more than two decades, Viagen has been the trusted bridge between conservation science we’re proving what’s possible and pushing the boundaries of what’s next
By combining Viagen’s decades of applied cloning expertise with Colossal’s full de-extinction toolkit ; including genome sequencing, computational biology, biobanking, multiplex gene editing, population genomics, and assisted reproductive technologies it is now possible to equip conservationists with the tools they need to act decisively. Not just to protect species on the brink, but to restore biodiversity at the genetic level and give threatened ecosystems a chance to recover.
CONSERVATION
Viagen’s blood banking service provides a safe, non-invasive way to preserve the genetic identity of endangered and threatened species without disrupting their health or natural behavior. With a minimal blood sample, collected in the field or during routine veterinary care, our team can culture and cryopreserve living cells that carry the full genetic blueprint of the animal.
This approach allows conservationists to secure vital genetic diversity from at-risk populations with no harm. Whether the species is critically endangered, part of a captive breeding program, or living in the wild, blood banking enables long-term preservation and creates a pathway for future cloning and reproductive intervention when needed.
It’s fast, low-impact, and scientifically powerful. This is the simple step that can help save a species from permanent loss.

We are making it possible for life to return stronger, more resilient, and more genetically equipped to survive the challenges ahead.
PARTNERS IN Leading the science of second chances
Viagen works alongside the Colossal Foundation to bring advanced science to frontline conservation efforts. Our role is to translate potential into reality, turning frozen samples into living populations through the precision of cloning, cell engineering, and reproductive technologies.
Together, we are designing conservation programs that look beyond triage and focus on renewal. These efforts go further than preserving DNA. They empower species to return to their ecosystems with the diversity and viability needed to survive and thrive.
THE BIOVAULT
Traditional biobanking was built for storage, not survival. Most biobanks today serve as static archives: they preserve tissue samples, but few go further. Many contain limited specimen types, lack full genetic sequencing, or fail to capture population diversity.
Even fewer have a path forward for turning stored material into viable, living animals. As a result, most of today’s collections fall short of what’s needed to restore species or rebuild ecosystems.
More than a repository, the BioVault combines cryogenic storage, full-genome sequencing, cell immortalization, and embryo banking to preserve not just what life looks like, but how it functions and evolves. It captures both the physical and digital blueprints of species and keeps them ready for future action.
Where traditional biobanks represent the past, the BioVault is built for the future.
FROM SAMPLE TO SURVIVAL
While the BioVault safeguards the genetic potential of a species, Viagen activates that potential through world-class cloning and reproductive biotechnology.
Our process ensures that cryopreserved samples are not simply archived, but usable, viable, and scalable. From somatic cell nuclear transfer to embryo transfer and gestation, Viagen enables conservationists to move beyond theoretical preservation into real-world restoration.
Built on Science
Guided by Compassion
Built on Science
The BioVault’s infrastructure is designed to support entire populations, not just individual animals. Its integration of genomic insights, phenotypic data, and reproductive readiness allows conservationists to model, plan, and execute species revival programs with unprecedented precision.
And because Viagen is part of Colossal, this system is now scalable worldwide, from endangered wildlife in arid deserts to threatened mammals in tropical forests. It’s a conservation engine powerful enough to match the urgency of the biodiversity crisis.
