frozen zoo

However, there are still less than a dozen frozen zoos worldwide.

In its Frozen Zoo plays a major role.

In 2012, there was a proposition to start a cell-bank or a 'frozen zoo' for the conservation of endangered species.

The Frozen Zoo eventually became a priceless genetic resource.

Some scientists want to take this idea to new levels, arguing for the creation of "frozen zoos" consisting of tissue samples culled from endangered species.

Some frozen zoos prefer to fertilize eggs and freeze the resulting embryo, as embryos are more resilient under the cryopreservation process.

He scraped this out and sent it to the San Diego Zoo, which keeps a "frozen zoo" of tissues from extinct and threatened species.

Frozen Zoo at San Diego Zoo Conservation Research has been freezing biological materials from animals and plants in liquid nitrogen (-196 C) since 1976.

The Zoological Society of San Diego has established a "Frozen zoo" to store such samples using modern cryopreservation techniques from more than 355 species, including mammals, reptiles, and birds.

The Frozen Ark is a charitable frozen zoo project created jointly by the Zoological Society of London, the Natural History Museum and University of Nottingham.

Within the concept of the modern ark, even projects of "frozen zoos" have been initiated, where gametes and embryos are stored under deep-freeze conditions in order to preserve them for a very long time.

Frozen Zoo at San Diego Zoo Conservation Research has acted as a forbearer to similar projects at other zoos in the United States and Europe including the Frozen Ark Project.

A Center for the Reproduction of Endangered Wildlife, the world's first frozen zoo, has just been finished in Cincinnati, but a critic asks whether a tamarin or a gorilla or an elephant that is raised from an embryo is actually an elephant, a gorilla or a tamarin.
