The Bedford Estates, LondonWe have partnered with Nature's SAFE, one of the world's first living biobanks, to assist them in their mission to Save Animals From Extinction.
As animal populations decline, a point is reached when the genetic diversity essential for species survival is lost. As EAZA Biobank’s UK-based cryopreservation partner, Nature’s SAFE works with zoos and wildlife rescue centres to secure the future of animal biodiversity.
To do this, they store cells and tissues from threatened wildlife species using advanced cryopreservation technologies, free of charge. By providing Nature's SAFE with this genetic material, we help develop next-generation genetic rescue approaches to restore diversity to threatened populations. Nature's SAFE acts as an insurance policy to prevent extinction.
Nature's SAFE said 'For the past 3 years, we have been expanding our network of impact by working with zoos, wildlife parks and wildlife rescue centres around the UK. Now we’ve added another new partner to our list: Woburn Safari Park! We are supporting the ongoing work that the park does to support endangered species by helping to maintain healthy ex-situ populations'
Woburn Safari Park is home to a variety of endangered species at risk of being lost to their declining populations - many as a result of habitat loss, poaching, climate change and more.
