24 NORTHERN WHITE RHINO EMBRYOS

The BioRescue project has made great strides in its efforts to save the northern white rhino from extinction. So far, the team has successfully created 24 pure northern white rhino embryos using in vitro fertilisation techniques.

These embryos represent a significant step forward in the project’s ultimate goal of using stem cells to regenerate the species. Additionally, thanks to pioneering research from Osaka University, the team has made significant progress in creating primordial germ cells, the precursor to eggs and sperm, from northern white rhino stem cells. This research is crucial for the long-term survival and reproduction of the northern white rhino.

The team is dedicated to continuing its efforts to bring this majestic species back from the brink of extinction.
