BIAZA and Nature's SAFE join forces to fight extinction
This species of mouse deer is listed by the IUCN as endangered and there is a small, and mainly female, population managed in European zoos.
Nature’s SAFE are excited to announce that our co-founder and charity coordinator Dr Rhiannon Bolton has successfully published a new paper reviewing assisted reproductive technologies and biobanking.
International conservation charity ZSL partners with living biobank Nature’s SAFE to preserve planet’s most threatened species
Nature’s SAFE is now home to biological tissue samples of 100 of the planet’s most endangered species – providing a vital insurance policy for threatened wildlife, so it can be protected for generations to come.
More than 40,000 species are currently at risk of extinction. Through a unified mission to save those species most at risk a new partnership has been formed between Paignton Zoo and Nature’s SAFE.
