This seed bank in California wants to preserve the Mojave Desert ecosystem

The Mojave Desert Land Trust’s seed bank project is home to a significant collection of seeds. With over 5 million seeds from 250 species and still growing, this project aims to preserve the desert’s biodiversity. The seed bank serves as a safeguard against threats like climate change, habitat destruction, and wildfires. By preserving these seeds, the Mojave Desert Land Trust hopes to ensure the long-term survival of the desert ecosystem and its unique plant species.
