Visit the Virtual Booth and say Hi to Frankie: https://www.frozenark.org/frozen-ark-virtual-booth-live

Ever questioned how we’re going to rescue animals that are facing extinction? We invite you to find out more about the biodiversity crisis and how the frozen “ARKS” of the 21st Century are working together to help safeguard the DNA, tissues and cells of endangered animals and other wildlife, contributing to their conservation. With extinction comes a great loss of information about the animal’s biology, ecology, and evolutionary history. We need you to help find the animals and successfully store their genetic material in our biobank before it’s too late. Become a scientist and help us save a species today! Do you have what it takes?

Inspired by our physical festival stand, this Virtual Booth aims to engage, educate, and connect with our audiences at home and abroad. Behind our stations you will find games, training videos, podcasts, quizzes, and even a virtual reality experience!

The ARKS of the 21st Century project is funded by the Wellcome Trust ISSF3 Public Engagement Proof-of-Concept Award and by the Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants programme. #ARKS21stCentury
