Primary themes in intergenerational justice are a healthy environment, the perpetuation of Earth's biodiversity, and sustainable management biosphere. However, current rate species declines globally, ecosystem collapses driven by accelerating catastrophic global heating, plethora other threats preclude ability habitat protection alone to prevent cascade amphibian mass extinctions. Reproduction advanced biotechnologies, biobanking germplasm somatic cells, conservation breeding programs (RBCs) offer transformative change biodiversity management. This can economically reliably perpetuate irrespective environmental targets extend satisfy humanity's future needs as biosphere expands into space. Currently applied RBCs include hormonal stimulation reproduction, collection refrigerated storage sperm oocytes, cryopreservation, vitro fertilization, cells. The benefits biotechnologies development, such assisted evolution cloning for adaptation or restoration, have yet be fully realized. We broaden our discussion genetic management, political cultural engagement, applications, including extension through interplanetary interstellar colonization. development application raise intriguing ethical, theological, philosophical issues. address these with models introduce Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute Special Issue, Sixth Mass Extinction Species Sustainability Biotechnologies, Biobanking, Conservation Breeding Programs.

Ecological Civilization COP 15 and Amphibian Sustainability through Reproduction Technologies, Biobanking, and Conservation Breeding Programs (RBCs)

Published: Oct. 8, 2023

Intergenerational Justice entitles the maximum retention of Earth’s Biodiversity. The United Nations COP 15 committed to protection 30% terrestrial environments provide Biospheric Sustainability. However, proactive amphibian sustainability needs support from Reproduction Technologies, Biobanking, and Conservation Breeding Programs [RBCs]. These technologies include reliable practice stimulation reproduction collection sperm oocytes, refrigerated cryopreserved storage, in vitro fertilization. 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. We present first overall multidisciplinary review RBCs, including their geopolitical, cultural, scientific background, along development application economically, efficiently, reliably, perpetuate biodiversity. genetic models, potential diploid cell cryopreservation species, significant new information methodologies techniques, standardise nomenclature specificity publications media consistency.
