A Bold Plan for De-Extinction: Mammoths, Colossal Founders, & More | Blazing Trails | Salesforce

Could bringing back the woolly mammoth be a key to saving the planet? Tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and Harvard geneticist George Church are betting on it.

But the company has a much larger goal, re-introducing native populations to help restore natural ecosystems. Join us to hear Ben and George talk about their pioneering work.
