"Seed Flame" image by FFMendoza, 2008

Relates to

Treasure of Seeds - The Movie


In compiling this slideshow, we worked with the theme of "amigos" as a way of bringing together a friendship between the 3 Trusts:

  • Global Crop Diversity Trust
  • Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust
  • Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens (Botanic Gardens Trust)

The images were selected to show the similarities between Svalbard and Jenolan. Svalbard has the underground treasures of seeds which are to be stored in its vaults forever, while Jenolan has its underground treasures of limestone formations which have been stored for over 300 million years already.
