Conservation Network

We partner with zoos, wildlife parks and wildlife rescue centres to preserve the genetic heritage of animals under their care. Furthering their conservation goals, free of charge.

How to become a conservation partner

If you would like your zoo, wildlife park or wildlife rescue centre to join our network, please contact us.

We are happy to walk you through the processes of sample collection and storage, and provide a tour of our facilities before making your decision.

We are currently only able to offer this service to UK-based institutions, but please contact us if you are based in another European country and we will keep you updated when our capacity expands to be able to offer this service to your institution.

Current partners

We are the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Biobank’s official UK-based cryopreservation partner.
