The '''Svalbard Global Seed Vault''' is an establishment built in [[Norway]] of [[Earth]].  Since 2008, it has been preserving the seeds of all the plants of Earth, in order to save our botanical heritage in case of extinctions.  Sometime after 2008, the [[Germ Warfare Repository]] was built next to it.
