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.

This movie was first screened at the opening of the Treasure of Seeds Exhibition at Jenolan Caves on 13 September 2008, however, due to popular demand, it was then projected onto the limestone walls of the Cathedral Cavern inside Jenolan's Lucas Cave where John Lovett also presented his talk on the Svalbard vault.

We hope you enjoy 'Treasure of Seeds - The Movie'.
