The Uruz Project had the goal of breeding back the extinct aurochs (Bos p. primigenius). Uruz is the old Germanic word for aurochs. The Uruz Project was initiated in 2013 by the True Nature Foundation[1] and presented at TEDx DeExtinction, a day-long conference[2] organised by the Long Now Foundation with the support of TED and in partnership with National Geographic Society,[3] to showcase the prospects of bringing extinct species back to life. The de-extinction movement itself is spearheaded by the Long Now Foundation.
