By donation aquired early access CRS Conservation NFTs will be delivered on the official Minting date on December 14th, 2022! This is your pre-minting chance to secure this limited NFT collection!

Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus (EEHV) is the primary cause of death of young calves in captive Asian elephants, in zoos but as well in the wild country populations. Although significant accomplishments were achieved during the past years in understanding this disease, it has become evident that we are still a long way from developing an effective vaccination. The solutions that seem to be consensual among the EEHV research community is that risk factors should be further explored and that regular monitoring and immediate and pre-organized treatment is needed. Intravenous transfusion of heterologous plasma and/or whole blood was an essential component in the few successful treatments, which helped to save the lives of recently ill elephant calves.

There are only two Northern White Rhinos left in the world, they are called Najin and Fatu and are both females. To save these charismatic animals from extinction seems impossible under these circumstances. An international consortium aims to make the seemingly impossible a reality and is developing methods of assisted reproduction and stem cell research.
