literal and figurative re-seeding.
off the top of my head, given unlimited budget, I'd probably have a massive vault of seeds (not just in variety, in quantity, too,) and adequate staff in rotations in a deep-sea bunker. not near a fault line, but deep enough that surface conditions are less likely to impact (no pun intended). Sea vs land because "digging your way out" become less of a problem. If you had a truly unlimited budget, one could imagine an Ark of embryos and a sufficient population of young does of each animal species you sought to preserve.

I imagine there would be trade-offs to that too, like water leaking. Plus, access without submarines could be difficult.
