Seed Bank

A seed bank is a facility that conserves a wide variety of plant seeds for future use, research, and restoration. It helps protect plant diversity by preserving genetic material, especially for rare or endangered species. Seeds are stored in controlled conditions, such as low temperatures and humidity, to keep them viable over long periods. This ensures that if plants become threatened or extinct in the wild, they can potentially be reintroduced or used for breeding programs, supporting agricultural sustainability and ecological resilience.
