You could organize a project to run under the Genetic Rescue Foundation's umbrella. We're currently sequencing the genome of the extinct moa. http://blog.scienceexchange.com/2015/06/sequencing-the-genom... .

We're also proposing to sequence the genomes of all 125 remaining kakapo. https://www.geneticrescue.science/projects/genome-sequencing... . If you have a conservation project in mind we can help you to publicize and crowdfund it if necessary.

So you can help out by organizing your own conservation project or by getting involved with our existing projects. Email info at geneticrescue.science to continue the conversation. Thank you for your interest!
