Nature's SAFE

The conservation charity Nature’s SAFE, one of the world’s first living biobanks, is on a 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. They do this by storing cells and tissues from threatened wildlife species using advanced cryopreservation technologies, free of charge. Through developing next-generation genetic rescue approaches to restore diversity to threatened populations, Nature’s SAFE acts an insurance policy to prevent extinction.
