Explanation:
It mainly will depend if you want the protozoa been alive all this time or just preserved for molocular biology screening.
For the first case, it would be problematic (depending on how much time you need to preserve them and depending also of the species you want to preserve (it would be different for cysts of Cryptosporidium and living flagelates for instance).
For the second case, i would suggest to standardize a technique to concentrate your samples and preserve them in alcohol
