Revive & Restore is a conservation-focused biotechnology research nonprofit based in Sausalito, California, founded in 2012. It aims to apply 21st-century biotechnology to conservation by increasing genetic diversity, enhancing disease resistance, and supporting adaptation to promote biodiversity through genetic rescue of endangered and extinct species. The organization operates through three core activities—convening experts, advancing research, and funding catalytic science—evidenced by its Catalyst Science Fund, established in 2018 with support from Promega. Its work is directed at conservation practitioners, researchers, and partner organizations seeking ways to integrate biotechnologies into conservation practice. A notable recent development is an August 2023 pro bono collaboration with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati to provide legal guidance on incorporating biotechnologies into conservation practice. Over the years, Revive & Restore has engaged in collaborations with other conservation and research partners and has pursued projects relating to genetic approaches to wildlife preservation, including the Woolly Mammoth Revival initiative launched in 2015.
