Nature's SAFE in Whitchurch has reached a major milestone in its fight against extinction.
They freeze and store cells from 200 endangered species, ranging from African elephants to Scotland鈥檚 wildcats in liquid nitrogen at 鈥�196掳C to create a cryogenic 鈥渢ime capsule鈥�.

Tullis spoke to 麻豆社 Radio Shropshire's Clare Ashford.
