Seed Bank in England: 25 Years of Preserving Plant Diversity

A big seed bank in England is 25 years old. It keeps many seeds safe underground. The bank has over 2 billion seeds from 40,000 kinds of plants. The seeds are kept very cold to save them for a long time.

People collect seeds from all over the world. They dry and clean the seeds before storing them. This helps protect plants that might die out. The seed bank works with groups in 100 countries to save plants.

The seed bank hopes to use these seeds to grow plants again in the future. This can help fix nature and fight climate change. The bank also teaches people how to save seeds in their own countries.
