Eight hundred thousand species of plants are kept in the global granary
In the Global granary, that is the largest such institution and can be found in Svalbard,
more than eight hundred thousand species of plant seeds are stored.
More than twenty thousand seed samples were sent with the last shipment from more than one hundred countries to the seed bank, which was established by the Norwegian government in February 2008. Seed samples arrived from Japan, for the first time, where they fear that the consequences of the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 2011 can jeopardize the Japanese collection. (MTI)
