I work at Wakehurst place where the MSB is situated. No problem with records or security. Big database. MSB is proof against anything but direct hit from nuclear bomb. X-ray is done on a sampling basis only. All stored seeds are subject to regular germination testing (every 10 years or so….)

As usual, an amazing video by the Lonely Leap crew. Messages made real on film.

It is a GREAT & incredibly important subject & project that is admirable, inspiring & worth supporting. What concerned me in this short video are 2 things. First that each seed is X-rayed! which affects and probably damages its ability to sprout & live and the fact that many of the jars & tubes were marked with numbers only that unless interlinked with a digital database would be meaningless & useless, implying heavy reliance on computer technology which if affected or lost will make the seeds unidentifiable. May be those can be addressed.
