Ben shares how mentorship from George Church launched this mission, how AI is transforming conservation, why ecosystem restoration matters as much as the lab work, and how these technologies could shape life on Earth—and beyond—for generations to come. A fast-paced look into the future of species revival, biodiversity, and the evolving relationship between humanity, technology, and the natural world.
