ark

"The work we are doing, and zoos around Europe are doing, is really to be that lifeboat, to be that ark population."

Now it’s time to make it a tree ark, and not every species should make it aboard.

And no one even had to build an ark.

If you were playing God, for example, you'd want to stash as many pollinators in your ark as you can, and as many plant species that are really good at storing carbon as you can.

I understand the argument that zoos are now arks, safe places where endangered animals and genetic material are preserved in a world where thousands of species are hurtling toward extinction.
