Today, as many as four species of plant will be condemned to extinction. The same will happen tomorrow. And the next day. More plant species are becoming extinct than ever before and at an ever increasing rate. Beautiful plants... useful plants... precious plants.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
All plants are born from a seed, so in order to protect the plants, we must protect the seeds. And that, is exactly what we're doing, right now at the Millennium Seed Bank Project.
By supporting Kew's Millennium Seed Bank, you can help to save a plant species. Freezing seeds at the bank means they could stay alive for hundreds of years. And the future of a species would be safe. We need you to help us bank more seeds today. Life on earth depends on it.
