Climate
change means that many species are struggling. So, whilst Peppermint isn’t
quite doing it correctly, he is on the right lines. A seed bank means storage
and preservation of seeds, a gene bank of plants. It is one of the best ways of
ex situ (off site) conservation of plants as the seeds take much less space and
do not need the same sort of care as a full plant. They still need care to
ensure viable seeds but not the watering and feeding like growing plants. Loss
of plant species does not just mean loss of potential medical breakthroughs but
also loss of whole ecosystems.
