Cryopreservation is an advanced ex-situ conservation technique where gametes of threatened species are preserved in viable and fertile conditions at sub-zero temperatures (B-I). C. Biodiversity hotspots are regions identified for maximum protection due to very high levels of species richness and a high degree of
