The documentary \u201cThe Last Rhino\u201d<\/em> has premiered worldwide on National Geographic and Disney+ USA \u2014 an emotional and moving account of the international mission to save the Northern White Rhino from extinction.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The film closely follows the work of the BioRescue Project<\/strong>, a global scientific consortium combining advanced expertise in reproductive medicine, genetics, and wildlife conservation. Among the project\u2019s key partners is Avantea<\/strong>, contributing its scientific know-how in OPU and in vitro fertilization techniques, which are essential to preserving the genetic heritage of the last two surviving females.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

The BioRescue Project represents one of the most complex and innovative efforts ever undertaken in the conservation of an animal species. Within this framework, Avantea is responsible for the in vitro maturation of oocytes and the production of embryos, using cryopreserved sperm from deceased males.<\/p>

This delicate and pioneering work shows how technologies developed in the field of animal assisted reproduction can also be applied to safeguarding global biodiversity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The documentary premiered on National Geographic and Disney+ USA, and will soon also be available to European audiences in several languages. It is a powerful and scientifically accurate visual testimony of what it means to \u201csave a species in real time,\u201d in which Avantea plays an active and recognized role.<\/p>
