Architectural Plan
Revealed of Doomsday Arctic Seed Vault
“Noah’s Ark”
for Seeds Designed to Outlast Major
Rise in Sea Level and Warming of Permafrost
OSLO, NORWAY (9
February 2007)—The Norwegian government has revealed
the architectural design for the Svalbard
International Seed Vault, to be carved deep into
frozen rock on an island not far from the North
Pole. The entrance to the “fail-safe” seed vault
will “gleam like a gem in the midnight sun,”
signaling a priceless treasure within: seed samples
of nearly every food crop of every country. The
vault is designed to protect the agricultural
heritage of humankind—the seeds essential to
agriculture of every nation.
 “This
design takes us one step closer to guaranteeing the
safety of the world’s most important natural
resource,” said Dr. Cary Fowler, Executive Director
of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, which will
co-fund the vault’s operations and pay for the
preparation and transport of seeds from all
developing nations to the Arctic island of Svalbard.
“Every day that passes we lose crop biodiversity. We
must conserve the seeds that will allow agriculture
to adapt to challenges such as climate change and
crop disease. This design is as awesome physically
as it is attractive aesthetically, and both are
fitting tributes to the importance of the biological
treasure to be stored there.”

Construction is
slated to begin in March 2007 and to be completed in
September 2007. The vault will officially open in
late winter 2008. |

INSPIRATIONAL
QUOTE |
Our lives are inspired by the dreams we have
from the earliest days of our youths. When you
combine passion and hard work, then success is
always possible. While no road is ever straight,
dedication and persistence will always lead you
to your dreams.

Starbucks Coffee Cup Wisdom #63
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone wants to
be happy and to avoid suffering and
dissatisfaction. This is a universal truth that
does not depend on nationality, age, wealth,
gender, or any other personal factor.
Because we want to be happy, we spend much of
our lives trying to find objects and experiences
that we imagine will make us happy. Many of us
dedicate our lives to the endless pursuit of
happiness and the avoidance of suffering. We
work toward acquiring a nice home, a satisfying
career, a loving partner, children, vacations,
and so forth. However, no sooner do we satisfy
our desires than we want more new, different
things to keep us happy. Therefore,
All of our activities and worldly pursuits
are continuously motivated by the desire for
happiness and the wish to avoid suffering.
