Animals sent to the Moon

Scientists are considering an unusual plan to help endangered animals: storing their frozen cells on the Moon.

The idea is to preserve cells from threatened species in the Moon’s cold regions, as experts believe that the conditions there are more suitable than on Earth. On our planet, biodiversity is at risk due to natural disasters, climate change, and overpopulation, making it important to find new ways to protect endangered species.

The team of American scientists suggests building a storage facility on the Moon, likely at its north or south poles. These areas have deep craters that are always in shadow, with temperatures reaching about -200°C. Such cold temperatures make them ideal for preserving frozen animal cells.

All living things, including humans, are made up of cells. Cells are the building blocks of life and are tiny, requiring a microscope to see them. By storing these cells on the Moon, scientists hope to create a backup plan in case these species disappear from Earth.

This plan could help scientists save important genetic information and allow for future research and conservation efforts. The Moon might become a crucial part of preserving Earth’s biodiversity for future generations.
