The campaign to bring back the Tasmanian Tiger

A campaign has been launched to bring back the Tasmanian Tiger; the carnivorous marsupial extinct in Australia since the 1930s. Despite hundreds of sightings in ensuing years, the Tassie Tiger – or thylacine – is now a distant memory. Colossal Biosciences is a tech and investment company in the US – and it’s recruited people like Paris Hilton and the Hemsworth brothers to invest in its project to re-wild the Tassie Tiger.

We’re joined by Ben Lamm, founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences who explains why they chose the thylacine – and what it would mean for Tasmania’s native animal population and environment, if it’s re-introduced to the wilds of the Apple Isle.

In today’s Briefing, the campaign to bring back the Tasmanian Tiger.
