位于挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛的“末日种子库”是世界上最大的种子库之一,用于收集和保存来自世界各地的种子样本,以确保生物多样性并为未来可能的全球灾难做准备。
根据挪威政府的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库官网显示,截至2月28日,该种子库已经收集了超过125万份种子样本。这些样本来自世界各地的不同国家和地区,代表了地球上绝大部分的食物作物和野生植物品种。
种子库位于斯瓦尔巴群岛的一个被誉为“世界尽头”的山洞内,温度保持在零下18摄氏度。低温可以最大程度地延长种子的保存期。这里被誉为世界上最安全的地点之一。
该种子库于2008年2月正式启用,其目的是在可能出现的重大灾难面前保存关键的作物种子,比如战争、疾病和气候变化等,从而保护全球食物安全和生物多样性。目前,全球约有1750批不同作物的种子被保存在其中。

News content: The “Doomsday Seed Vault” located on the Svalbard Islands in Norway, one of the world’s largest seed vaults, collects and preserves seed samples from around the world to ensure biodiversity and prepare for potential global disasters in the future.
According to the website of Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault, as of February 28, the seed vault has collected over 1.25 million seed samples. These samples come from different countries and regions around the world, representing the vast majority of food crops and wild plant species on Earth.
The vault is located inside a mountain cave nicknamed “the end of the world” on the Svalbard Islands, with temperatures maintained at minus 18 degrees Celsius. The low temperature can maximize the preservation period of the seeds. The location is considered one of the safest places in the world.
The vault became operational in February 2008 with the aim of saving critical crop seeds from major disasters that may occur, such as wars, diseases and climate change, thereby protecting global food security and biodiversity. Currently, seeds from about 1,750 different crops are stored there.
