As thousands of animal species face the threat of extinction within the next few...\nThe Frozen Ark initiative at London's Natural History Museum aims to preserve the genetic codes of endangered species by storing their living tissue. As thousands of animal species face the threat of extinction within the next few decades, this DNA bank ensures that the unique genomes developed over millions of years of evolution are not lost forever. By freeze drying and storing tissue samples at ultra-low temperatures, the project guarantees the preservation of genetic records for at least 30 years, with the goal of expanding to create a global network of genetic banks.\n
