Revive & Restore

Revive & Restore is the leading conservation organization promoting the incorporation of genetic tools into standard conservation practice. There are many ways synthetic biology can create tools for conservation. In the span of this iGEM year, what will your team be capable of? Revive & Restore asks you to think alternatively and think big! Can you create a synthetic horseshoe crab bait for fisheries? Or generate pollutant remediating microbes? What about using CRISPR/Cas9 for DNA-extraction-free monitoring of invasive species? Use a creative, ambitious goal to develop the first small, scientific steps to get there. Conservation needs innovation. Your next-generation ideas could help save wildlife and ecosystems!
