"The Frozen Zoo® is nothing short of a treasury of life on Earth. This
indispensable resource, part of our Wildlife Biodiversity Bank, holds frozen
living cells from more than 11,500 individual animals of 1,300 species or
subspecies, many of them endangered or even extinct. Within these microscopic
samples lies the extraordinary potential to reintroduce valuable genetic
diversity into wildlife populations, safeguarding species for generations to
come.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Frozen Zoo, we reflect on its
remarkable history and the groundbreaking achievements it has made possible. It
is and always has been an unparalleled tool for shaping the future of wildlife
conservation and inspiring hope for species everywhere—and it will continue to
pave the way in its next 50 years and beyond."
