The Global Seed Vault

Thanks to company that I work for and Nordgen I had opportunity to go inside the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the human Noah's ark. The human last chance resource is prepared for nuclear war, icecaps melting, far north, far from political problems, hidden 130 m inside the mountain and in the permafrost.  There are seeds from nearly every region, every country, even from the North Korea and Syria. Under the ground all countries are equal and their crops construct the unique and very important tool to can front the future starvation and climate change problems. They will come. No doubts. It sounds like since fiction, but is real, and it is very serious. Nearly everyday, one specie disappears FOREVER!

This is the place to conserve the biodiversity for next generations. It is the most important building ever constructed on the Earth! 
It is difficult to go inside, however I recommend to come on Svalbard and at least see the entrance. I was feeling like entering to the most beautiful church. The cathedral constructed by million of years and the Nature. Amazing.
