Biography
“In a world where innovation in health & healthcare is essential, complex ecosystems are subjected to unprecedented pressures. Conserving the genetic heritage of life on earth is a top priority. Apart from being a profound ethical issue, applications ranging from future medical inventions to enhancing food supply stand to benefit greatly from biodiversity banking. Every species that is lost diminishes society’s potential to respond to future threats. I-arks objectives encompass to address this in a healthy and innovative way.” Frank De Winne, Head of the European Astronaut Centre Department, ESA “Biodiversity is an important aspect of our ecosystem and therefore of our everyday life. Humanity should aim to preserve the biodiversity on this planet for the well-being of all future generations. The contribution of I-ARKS and its network of experts can in that be instrumental.
