The bank contains seeds from 10 per cent of the Earth’s wild plant species, providing an insurance policy for the planet’s plant life. The next goal is to collect 25 per cent of species by 2020.
What an incredible place. It's good to know that someone is keeping these things safe for the rest of us.
