The UAE has partnered with Colossal Biosciences to launch the Colossal BioVault and World Preservation Lab at Dubai's Museum of the Future, aimed at enhancing global biodiversity conservation through the cryogenic preservation of genetic material from over 10,000 species. With an initial investment of $60 million, the project will utilize advanced technologies like AI and robotics to monitor and preserve samples, while also serving as a research and educational hub. This initiative positions the UAE as a leader in biotechnology, addressing the urgent biodiversity crisis as nearly half of Earth's species face potential extinction by 2050.
