ELZUBI to Al-Qahera News: The Millennium Seed Bank is a global insurance policy against the loss of biodiversity

The Millennium Seed Bank is not merely a storage facility for seeds, but rather a global insurance policy against the loss of biodiversity, and a strategic tool that our region can benefit from to safeguard native plants, strengthen food security, and confront the challenges of climate change.”
Located in Wakehurst, West Sussex, the Millennium Seed Bank was inaugurated in 2000. It preserves seeds in underground vaults under carefully controlled conditions of low temperature and humidity, allowing them to remain viable for decades, and in some cases even centuries.
