Cool. Saving species from extinction is an actual career these days with a bright future.

Great links.

Personally, I think the hobbyist collectors who continually cultivate rare species will probably do more than the seed banks for preserving biodiversity assuming they are not completely outlawed but it is handy to have the Kew as a backup.
