The Bank of Plants

I'm sure you've seen many movies where the land is an empty giant field caused by some apocalyptic world catastrophe, where hardly any people with little food, water and with little sociability manage to live years, with a better self-sufficiency than Bear Grylls, Ed Stafford or even Les Stroud.

Finally, there is a seed bank in Norway founded in 2008, with the intention of protecting the biodiversity of the different plants that exist in the world, as the [FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ) Has warned of problems with the loss of plant biodiversity.](http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/46805/icode/)

###### Bank Location: Svalbard, Norway. (Google Maps)
***
This bank is called Svalbard Global Seed Vault and is able to withstand the catastrophes we commonly see in movies, such as earthquakes, electrical faults, excessive sea growth, active volcanoes and even radiation. Part of this idea is thanks to Crop Trust, a non-profit organization that seeks to maintain the diversity of crops and their derivatives. If you want a small tour of the facilities you can give [click here and see this tour in 360 degrees.](https://www.croptrust.org/our-work/svalbard-global-seed-vault/interactive-visit/360-seed-vault-tour/)

It can house an amount of four million different seeds keeping to minus 18 degrees Celsius to conserve the life of these cultures. By 2015 [this bunker had 4,000 seed species and 840,000 samples](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B3veda_Global_de_Semillas_de_Salbard), sealed and stored in different materials that help with its conservation, located In the three different cameras that this wonderful bank has. Like the back-ups we make of our information we store on a computer, the scientists at this bank have a backup copy of each of the seeds.

Donors of these seeds (mainly states) have the power to return donated seeds to be used in response to any problems that have occurred in the donor country.

**It is a bit contradictory as humans on the one hand we are damaging our ecosystem and on the other hand some worry about it. The truth is that this invention that currently has almost ten years can contribute greatly to conserve food biodiversity, which although it benefits us, also benefits the preservation of the planet earth and all those beings that inhabit it.**

**There are scientific demonstrations that many of the catastrophes that happen today happen by carelessness to our mother nature, every time we do more damage, accelerating diminishing the precious gifts that gives us, including our most precious gasoline called water, landscapes , the animals, the oxygen we breathe and all those things that nature provides us to keep us alive.**

**Just as neighbors in a neighborhood care for their homes, we must do so with our main home called The Land.**
***
Finally following the theme I want to share a very entertaining video of this spectacular bank.

Never knew we were doing this, very interesting! Well at least we might be able to re-plant some things if they go extinct!

It's nice to know that the bank has been used to restore seed stocks in places that lost their stock, like in Syria. It's amazing that they can get that many new submissions into the seed bank, too. It shows how diverse our seed heritage is, in different parts of the world. So many amazing plants!
