Looking at the danger looming on the earth, scientists are now proposing to deposit sperms and eggs of about 6.7 million species in order to create a sperm bank on the moon.
Calling it modern global insurance policy, this ark will be created under the moon s surface and will be stored in cryogenic temperatures there.
This is being done as a precautionary measure. At the moment, our planet is facing the wrath of environmental degradation such as climate change, as well as other natural calamities as well. Not only that, several animals and birds around the world are endangered and could be extinct.
