RE: The Svalbard Global Seed Vault celebrates its 10-year anniversary by reaching the 1,000,000-seed sample milestone!
wow, they have more seeds than I expected, and yes, it is funny that a little permafrost melting destroyed the integrity of the seed doomsday bunker. lol.
As far as I knew, there was only one location that stored seeds like this, correct? I honestly believe that these need to be all over the world in case of something happening with transportation making it difficult to get them back to other countries.
There are over 70 different seed vaults spread across the globe. Granted, most are not really built to withstand a doomsday scenario, but they are still useful for regional conflicts such as wars and other things that ruin the crops in an entire region.
We should probably have a few more ready for doomsday scenario as well. I have no idea how people are even going to get to Svalbard in the event of a doomsday scenario :P It's very difficult to get to this place, so just imagine how we would get there without planes and vehicles.
