Abstract An endangered black-footed ferret female that died in 1988 with no living descendants the current population was successfully cloned from cryopreserved cells using cross-species somatic cell nuclear transfer, producing three healthy kits. Incorporating progeny these clones would provide an 8th founder to breeding program and increase genetic variation species’ limited gene-pool. This marks first time a native U.S. species has been cloned.

The documentation, preservation and rescue of biological diversity increasingly uses living samples. Persistent associations between species, biosamples, such as tissues cell lines, the accompanying data are indispensable for using, exchanging benefiting from these valuable materials. Explicit authentication biosamples by assigning unique robust identifiers is therefore required to allow unambiguous referencing, avoid identification conflicts maintain reproducibility in research. A predefined nomenclature based on uniform rules would facilitate this process. However, a currently lacking animal material. We here present first, standardized, human-readable design, which sufficient generate stable identifying names cellular material with focus wildlife species. species-specific human- machine-readable syntax included proposed standard naming scheme, allowing traceability donated cultured cells, well FAIRification. Only when it consistently applied public domain, publications inter-institutional samples exchanged, distributed stored centrally, can risks misidentification loss be mitigated.

Conservation and animal wellbeing are two key goals of the modern zoo aquarium. In case ex situ conservation breeding programs, there is a unique paradox between these concepts; on some occasions, facilities must balance mitigate arising conflicts animals with project. Exerting control over reproductive lives animals—choosing when where they breed, whom breed with, whether prohibited altogether, so on—results in an inherent reduction animal’s agency. Considering growing recognition that providing choice to enhances wellbeing, it essential examine how populations their managed. The present review presents challenges supporting agency for bred by thoroughly exploring practical realities working animals. Various areas consideration, including current research directions, suggestions future practices, opportunities moving forward, highlighted. importance careful population management maximising dichotomy necessity limit autonomy preserve while meeting needs programs.

Emerging promise perpetuation species solely biobanked biomaterials. although exemplary national programs for RBCs are now established USA Australia, these potentials not fully realised resulting unacceptable biodiversity loss. To realise an independent democratic global organisation is proposed to, 1) focus on bioregions with highest biodiversity, 2) maximise regional inclusion international initiatives, 3) community engagement financial resources.
