The Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva's Collection of DNA extracts and silica-dry tissue samples used for genetic and phylogenetic analyses

A mileage goes beyond century symbolizing the abundance and beauty of life, which nourishes the culture of Taiwan with the ocean… In 1991, the preparatory office of the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium(NMMBA) was formally established, the hard and tough scheming and construction work were then begun…., the opening of the Waters of Taiwan was finally finished on February 25th, 2000 after numerous efforts and frustrations, we formally stepped toward the infinite field of international marine education and research since then. Under the multiple functional thinking of the museum affairs, the NMMBA also approaches the overall promotion of community, entertainment, international and so forth other than the upgrading of the educational, academic and conservational aspects. In July, 2000, the Aquarium Department of the museum was consigned to Hi-Scene World Enterprise for professional operation and management after screening. This not only initiated the first case of consigning the national social educational agency to outside operation, but also implemented thoroughly the cooperation concept for professional division of labor. The NMMBA introduced the Waters of the World covering the global waters and ancient ocean with the method of combining the aquarium and all digital images following the openings of the Waters of Taiwan and the Coral Kingdom Pavilion. All progresses were finished at the end of 2007, which made the NMMBA the best museum worldwide.

Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) is the national accrediting association representing institutions committed to excellence in animal welfare, conservation, and research. Accredited Zoos and Aquariums are uniquely positioned to significantly expand wildlife biobanking in Canada. With access to a wide range of species—including those under severe threat or extinct in the wild—our institutions can collect and preserve valuable biological samples that support conservation and scientific research. Biobanking aligns with the mission of the accredited zoo and aquarium community to sustain healthy populations and advance husbandry, veterinary, behavioral, and genetic knowledge in support of long-term biodiversity conservation. The Canadian Museum of Nature - National Biodiversity Cryobank of Canada is the physical facility for sample storage.
