I have always thought this is one of the most intelligent and foresighted accomplishments humanity has performed. Hopefully humanity will never need to call upon the seed bank to rescue our species from an otherwise extermination event. In the future though, it will provide a vast repository for scientific research as plant bioengineering becomes evermore advanced.
About 1,500 seed banks exist, just not as comprehensive in their inventory and not as well protected by location as Svalbard . It is the same as we have libraries and then we have the Library of Congress that has a copy of everything published.@@mikesands4681
We already lost some plant verieties before this was built so it might get used for a few species here and there , we lost the original banana our grandparents ate in the 80s or 90s why di you think banana flavored candi and other things dont tast like bananas its because those flavor ingedients were based off the old banana that went exstinct not the current one we all eat , would have been nice to have been able to save those seeds from back then because those previous bananas were larger and sweeter than what we have now
People are extremely smart ,It's mind blowing like who on earth thought to that level ,it could be hundreds of years before we need it .A solution that starts now for a possibly SCIFI future problem.What a wonder we are!
With the seed vault came to mind the ruder Ellis weed variation that allows for a rapid growth stain of weed but then kills the next season as the seeds from the Ellis variation then come infertile there by killing the next season of growth. The seeds were they ever then to get in the arc would be the take down of the next race as when they mingle. , Just as spiders are easy cross breakers the ellis variation is able to cross breed but creates the gene block as it were that prevents subsequent seasons only infertile growth and do not germinate. .Germinate then brings to mind the second phase of killing off the inferior blood lines as the Russian nazi plot thickens , the bastards took it upon themselves to plant deceased genes in the pot that holds the gene arc. This killing off not only the growth we rely on but the next race of humans , while apart from all the rest in two systems designed for glacial motion to crack the chambers we grow again from the Nazi pot. , And there plants up closer to the expected initial glacial turn so we grow into the Nazi purity of there chosen growth system . What they won't understand is the desease is probably the kick the other genes need to vile from and grow stronger. So the plot is impasse till the next time.
Do anything you can, No one can run away. Surah Al-Qari'ah (The Striking Calamity), Chapter 101, Verses 4-6: "The Day when mankind will be like moths, dispersed, and the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up. Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds], he will be in a pleasant life."

Why is it the only one?

@@j_zales1390that’s because you couldn’t grow bananas using seeds, so it wouldn’t have matter either way.
They should also store the dna of all existing animals

Hopefully none of these seeds are from Monsanto
What if the permafrost melths because of global warming
Hope they got exotic Zaza beans

Doing too much
Great Ideas 💡
I've always wanted to see Norway
Interesting idea. But not everyone eats vegetables
Hardy Route
As long as they keep the smelly Durian fruit from Thailand out of the vault - I'm okay with this idea.
WEF
Seems like they should have more seed varieties
Can we send weed seed ?
They even have opium tree

"So few people don't know about it." I think you mean so people know about it?
They should send some seeds to Mars and the Moon, just in case.
If we needed the seeds on earth that bad, we probably wouldn't be able to get to the moon or Mars to retrieve the seeds
