Problem:
Unprecedented Threat to Nature’s Gene Pool
Genetic engineering techniques have become so inexpensive, we can easily and permanently reorder the code of life, irreversibly altering wild populations of any organism that contains DNA.
We face the unprecedented threat of the widespread corruption and replacement of nature’s gene pool. In the U.S., gene-edited organisms can be released into the environment without any assessments.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ECOSYSTEMS
A farm will be able to order custom engineered insects, seeds, soil microbiomes, and pesticide sprays.
GENE DRIVE
A new gene is forced through future generations of an entire species, changing its DNA and even wiping it out.
INSECTS THAT DELIVER VIRUSES
The U.S. Department of Defense is developing insects with viruses that infect and alter plants.
AI MEETS BIOTECH
Biotech driven by artificial intelligence will create more and invasive changes on a massive scale.
All these efforts are prone to calamitous and uncontrollable side effects.
Solution:
Our Protect Nature Now Campaign
With the pandemic, the world is now acutely aware of how a single virus – a microbe – can wreak havoc.
Unlike GMO crops, which are well established in many countries, GE (Genetically Engineered) microbes have not been widely deployed yet. Our Protect Nature Now campaign will initially focus on containing GE microbes—and we stand ready to address other emerging threats as they arise.
Governments and civil society are largely unaware and wholly unprepared to manage the threat of these and other next generation applications known as GMO 2.0.

GMO 2.0
GMO 2.0 refers to the new genetic modification techniques that allow corporations to create GMOs more cheaply, easily, and quickly than ever before. They can tamper with nature by editing genes, changing species and creating entirely new DNA sequences. The results of these risky and unregulated processes are wildly unpredictable.

Keeping the Gene in the Bottle
Our short film Don’t Let the Gene Out of the Bottle will serve as a focal point for coalition building, public education, and recruitment of advocates. This will launch our initial grassroots actions to pass laws and resolutions at the local and state levels and to use these campaigns to educate the public and media about this issue.

Don’t Let the Gene Out of the Bottle powerfully conveys the threat to the human and environmental microbiomes as well as the permanent corruption of nature’s gene pool. Yet it inspires hope, revealing viable solutions to protect nature from this gene-altering technology, sometimes referred to as GMO 2.0.
The movie inspires powerful emotions and a desire to take action. It presents real-world examples of lab-enhanced GMOs with the capacity to cause catastrophes such as threatening terrestrial plant life, altering weather patterns, or even creating enhanced viruses far more dangerous than COVID-19.
The film features experts in the field such as Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dr. Jonathan Latham, Claire Robinson, Kiran Krishnan, Jim Thomas and Michelle Perro, M.D.
