50 years, countless innovations - test tube image

[link removed]

Every day in our Frozen Zoo®, something extraordinary
happens-we change the future of life on Earth, one microscopic
cell at a time. For 50 years, this collection of living cell lines has
stood as a beacon of hope for endangered species around the world. By
preserving these samples and the invaluable genetic diversity they
contain, we're redefining what it means to protect our
planet's wildlife and the ecosystems we all share.

As we celebrate the Frozen Zoo's 50th anniversary, discover its
inspiring legacy and staggering success stories as we look to the
dynamic future of this visionary conservation resource.

To help protect the endangered Przewalski's horse, we harnessed
cutting-edge cloning technology and proved its tremendous conservation
potential. In doing so, we've helped change the species'
story forever-not just once, but twice.

BEST FOOT FORWARD - Ferret

When Antonia gave birth to two kits last year, she made history. This
black-footed ferret, cloned from cells we preserved nearly 40 years
ago, is helping restore genetic diversity to a species once thought to
be extinct.

BIG BREAKTHROUGH >

BRANCHING OUT - img branch

[link removed]

Oak trees are an "exceptional species," meaning their
cells can't be frozen like other wildlife. Our experts have now
found a completely new way to preserve-and even freeze-the
Nuttall's scrub oak, offering hope for endangered plants
everywhere.

IN IT TOGETHER

Powerful conservation solutions require powerful partnerships. At this
year's prestigious World Conservation Congress, held by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature, we united a global
network of experts for an ambitious goal: biobanking all endangered
species worldwide by 2075.
