In this Insurance Institute of London (IIL) nature and sustainability webinar, Tullis Matson, Founder and Chair, Nature's SAFE, gave an engaging session focusing on biobanking and conservation. Nature's SAFE is a charity dedicated to freezing tissues from endangered species and showcasing their regenerative capabilities.
In the session, the speaker explored the fascinating world of preserving genetic material through semen and embryos, and the freezing of tissues from endangered breeds through the Endangered Species and Livestock Living Biobanks. Supporting biodiversity through biobanking and conservation efforts enhances ecosystem resilience, reduces environmental risks, and serves as a vital component of sustainable risk mitigation, future-proofing our natural world.
Learning objectives:
- Gain awareness of biobanking and conservation initiatives
- Understand the role of biodiversity preservation in risk mitigation
