The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which is established in the permafrost in the mountains of Svalbard,
is designed to store duplicates of seeds from seed collections from around the globe. Many of these
collections from developing countries are in developing countries. If seeds are lost, e.g. as a result
of natural disasters, war or simply a lack of resources, the seed collections may be reestablished using seeds from Svalbard.
