The Frozen Ark: Urgent appeal for donations
The Frozen Ark uses donations to deliver projects and activities. The funds it receives through donations are used to for the collection of DNA samples and to support the process of biobanking - the deep freezing of endangered species’ genetic materials. This includes funding the equipment and the expertise required in the sampling and preservation itself. Furthermore, donations allow The Frozen Ark to raise awareness of conservation through ongoing public engagement, including its education and outreach programmes, and develop a worldwide alliance on endangered species biobanking.
