Primary themes in intergenerational justice are a healthy environment, the perpetuation of Earth's biodiversity, and the sustainable management of the biosphere. However, the current rate of species declines globally, ecosystem collapses driven by accelerating and catastrophic global heating, and a plethora of other threats preclude the ability of habitat protection alone to prevent a cascade of amphibian and other species mass extinctions. Reproduction and advanced biotechnologies, biobanking of germplasm and somatic cells, and conservation breeding programs (RBCs) offer a transformative change in biodiversity management.

Article Synopsis
  • - Intergenerational justice emphasizes the importance of preserving Earth's biodiversity, and recent international efforts aim to protect 30% of terrestrial environments to counter climate change impacts.
  • - The review highlights the potential of reproduction biotechnologies, biobanks, and conservation breeding programs (RBCs) in achieving sustainability goals, while discussing their current applications and future possibilities.
  • - A push for enhanced support and collaborations for amphibian RBCs is needed, focusing on regions with the highest amphibian diversity and involving local communities, in order to prevent extinctions amidst geopolitical and cultural challenges.
