Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.
