Millenium Seed Bank
The planet is facing a critical time. Two in five plant species are threatened with extinction, with huge implications for the future of all ecosystems.
The Seed Collection at the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB) is the most diverse wild plant species genetic resource in the world, with over 2.4 billion seeds representing almost 40,000 different species. Seed banks are a cost-effective tool for long-term ex-situ (away from their natural habitat) plant conservation. Collections are dried and frozen, preserved for the future. They provide an insurance policy against the threats plants face in the wild.
