Uruz Project

Most, or all, of the relevant Aurochs characteristics, and therefore the underlying DNA, needed to "breed back" an aurochs-like cattle type can be found in B. p. taurus.

[4] The Uruz Project's goal is to collect all relevant data and reunite scattered aurochs characteristics, and thus DNA, in one animal.

Ecological restoration projects cannot be complete without bringing back those key elements that help shape and reshape wild landscapes.

The European aurochs (Bos p. primigenius) was a large and long-horned wild bovine herbivore that existed from the most western tip of Europe until Siberia in present-day Russia.

Grazing results in a greater variety of plant species, structures and ecological niches in a landscape that benefit both biodiversity and production.
