This study describes a Biological Resource Bank developed to assist Iberian lynx reproduction and in situ and ex situ conservation. Its design emphasized the preservation of the population's genetic and biological variety, as well as the safe sampling of samples. These deceased animals' germ cells and tissues, as well as somatic cells and tissues from 69 distinct individuals, were processed and cryopreserved to offer prospective reproductive possibilities. This reserve of somatic cells comprises a substantial proportion of the population's biodiversity, allowing for a broad variety of research that can readily be extrapolated to the whole population. We developed a non-destructive method to isolate stem-like cells. These cells may be useful in the future for therapeutic purposes and may be a suitable source for somatic cell nuclear transfer. Some people's pee and faeces were also stored. For epidemiological studies to be conducted, or for bio-sanitary research to be conducted, samples must be properly stored. This paper discusses the practical implementation of the Iberian Lynx Biological Resource Bank as a model for creating similar banks for other endangered species.
