According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, Harambe's sperm, preserved in liquid nitrogen, might be used to reinforce the future of lowland gorillas, and his tissues samples might also lend a hand research and address genetic problems plaguing threatened gorilla populations. In a press convention, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden director Thane Maynard mentioned despite Harambe's loss of life, his gene pool had not ended.

Shortly after the Cincinnati Zoo announced Harambe's sperm would be retrieved from his body, Kristen Lukas, then head of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Gorilla Species Survival Plan, instructed Reuters his sperm would not likely be used for breeding in the near-term. "It will be banked and just stored for future use or for research studies," she mentioned, referring to something researchers call a "frozen zoo." Of path, the genetic material might be used if a new disease affects lowland gorillas (noticed above). "In a dire situation like that, we would then be able to continue the population," Lukas added.
