Biodiversity BioBank
Launched in late 2025, the CAZA Biodiversity Biobank is a national partnership with the Canadian Museum of Nature that secures genetic material—such as DNA and tissue—to safeguard at-risk species from extinction. As an accredited member of Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums, Reptilia participates by contributing biological samples from its diverse reptile and amphibian collections. This initiative acts as a "genetic safety net," enabling future research and assisted reproduction for vulnerable herpetofauna across its Ontario facilities.
