Animal poo can be used to save endangered species from extinction, research finds

Summary

Nutrition label

77% Informative

Researchers are exploring whether they can use dung to capture and harness animals’ genetic diversity.

The project is based on a simple premise: besides being rich in undigested food, bacteria and bile, poo also contains cells from the creature that deposited it, shed from the lining of their intestines.

The hope is these cells could be used to help boost genetic diversity within populations, thereby increasing the chance of species surviving.

The poo zoo team say modern and traditional methods can work in parallel.

Some conservationists maintain prevention is better than cure.

WWF UK chief adviser Paul De Ornellas says new technologies are unlikely to provide the transformation we need to see.

But the poo Zoo team say traditional and modern methods can be used to save species.
