Came here for the White Vault reference. Was only disappointed that it was at the bottom of the page.

Gotta put in a plug for the international series “Into The Night” Netflix. The seed vault is part of the story.

When you seed it, it seeds you too...

Almost all countries have seedbanks. The svalbard vault is like the international backup of all the worlds bank.

Most of the seed deposited are crop variants sent by various countrie's genebanks. They're copies of all their local crops seeds basically.
However, some genebanks not entirely dedicated to crop species have been sending backup seeds there. There's a huge collection of north american trees and another collection of british wildflowers for example.
The Vault's mission statement is to preserve any seeds the signatories of the international treaty sends. While most of the world's genebanks are primarly concerned with agriculture or species of use for humans, there is a growing interest in preserving other wild species for research and ecosystem preservation.
The Vault's only half full right now, and the capacity can be upgraded if need be.

Wow, that sounds really interesting! I've always been curious about the Seed Vault and the crucial role it plays in preserving the world's plant biodiversity. I'm excited to take a virtual tour and learn more about how it works and why it's so important. Plus, the stunning scenery of Svalbard is a bonus!

We do ban a lot of non-residential ASNs due to abuse

Doesn't every country have a seed vault?

I get that, thanks :) I think it would be good to ask for weekly spent time on activities though since it is easier to estimate and calculate. Lots of the activities you ask for aren't done daily, but probably weekly or biweekly.

Shame that it's not full 360 and that the nadir and zenith can't be viewed.

Does it go a step further and backup seeds for general biodiversity of wild spaces? Not just those plants which are directly food related?

Can we open shady links in the VM? =O Even though that's something I definitely wouldn't do......=O

Features in the Netflix show Into the Night, which seems to have done a pretty decent job replicating it!

That's what I thought. I checked the internet and just guessed it was because I'm on an AZERTY layout that it was different but it looks like the site I found this info on was just wrong

Yeah it's strange, seeing the reality takes away the mystique. I was imagining a Mines of Moria type situation brimmed with seeds.
