Would it be sensible to use maidsafe to store the DNA profiles of endangered species. This wouldn’t be sensible for normal blockchain due to the amount of data, but seems like a great use case for safe.
The decentralised approach would mean this information would be safely stored for future generations.

related, I wrote this article a few years back that gives a similar idea. More just mapping species, but adding DNA to the wiki-entries would be grand
My most ideal, ultimate version of this app would use AI recognition to automatically & seamlessly recognize and record current & new species from everyone’s submitted images all around the world, to create an ever-expanding database of species
But let’s get it working on the clearnet at least, first lots of hurdles to a vision like this.
