Millennium Seed Bank

The Millennium Seed Bank is a large, secure facility in the UK that preserves seeds from a wide variety of plants around the world. Its goal is to conserve plant biodiversity for future generations, helping to protect species threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other challenges. Seeds are carefully collected, cataloged, and stored at low temperatures to maintain their viability over time. This collection serves as a genetic reservoir, supporting research, restoration projects, and ensuring plants can be reintroduced or propagated if needed. The Seed Bank is a vital resource for global plant conservation efforts.
