World Seed Project

The World Seed Project is an initiative aimed at preserving the genetic diversity of Earth's plant species by collecting and storing seeds from around the world. These seeds are kept in secure, climate-controlled facilities to protect against extinction caused by environmental changes, disasters, or human activity. The goal is to ensure future generations can restore or cultivate plant varieties, supporting biodiversity, food security, and ecological resilience. Essentially, it functions as a global genetic bank that safeguards the planet’s botanical heritage for sustainable use and conservation.
