The preservation of sperm, an ova where you can, in a frozen zoo is a very expensive proposition. But it is actually much less expensive than preserving the animals themselves. And whether it compares favorably or economically with other methods of saving wildlife is less a question than whether the institutions involved can help preserve animals in nature. In some cases, there is no other alternative and the alternatives that I prefer, saving animals in nature and collaborating, acting interactively between zoos and nature or zoos and parks is not an alternative to the frozen zoo, but it is a much, much more effective and better program so long as you can do it. But I suppose you could say that about the frozen zoo. I think it’s a wonderful thing that should be continued and expanded. I guess I would not rate it as highly as saving wildlife and sea too. In 1993 of the world zoo conservation strategy was released, how surprising was the report and what did it introduce– (phone rings) All set.
