Norway's Noah's Ark

Many of you are, no doubt, aware of the many species of animals that are going extinct. If only there were a modern day Noah's ark, a real Evan Almighty, to help protect God's creatures from human made disasters. As it turns out there is, not for animals but for plants. Plants also become extinct. The nation of Norway has given the world a gift that amounts to a Noah's Ark for plant life on earth. Dug deep into the frozen tundra of Norway's coldest and most remote region is a massive vault that is free to the world. In it other nations store, free of charge, seeds from their countries that feed people, livestock, birds, bees, etc. Not just seeds for food, but seeds that supply entire ecosystems and continents with rich vegetation. Norway is a country that is 90% Lutheran and has a history of a being a progressive and peace loving nation, a good big brother/sister for us to look up to as North American Lutherans.
