Original: Preserving wildlife DNA for the future: Interview with the Frozen Zoo’s Katie Heineman

Mongabay has published an interview with Katie Heineman of the Frozen Zoo, the biobank that stores genetic samples from endangered and extinct wildlife species. Heineman discusses how preserved DNA and cell lines can support conservation research, breeding programmes and the long-term survival of threatened animals as habitats and populations decline worldwide.

Why now: Conservationists and readers are increasingly interested in genetic biobanking as a tool against biodiversity loss.
