Could cryogenics be the scientific answer to saving animals facing extinction?

In rural Shropshire, a group of scientists are quietly leading the global fight against extinction, by freezing life itself.

Nature’s Safe is preserving sperm, eggs, and tissue from endangered animals like red squirrels and Scottish wildcats in high-security cryogenic biobanks.

Using cutting-edge science - including the ability to ​turn skin cells into sperm and eggs - their aim is to ensure that even if species vanish in the wild, they won’t be lost forever.
