I get my nature-loving side from my Norwegian ancestry. They love the outdoors, enjoying it via hiking, boating, and skiing. In the midst of dwindling habitats around the world, the Norwegians have stepped up to the plate to be the ultimate botany conservationists. They have created an underground seed storage warehouse to house precious seeds from all over the world, including seeds of plants that are on the verge of extinction. While these efforts may be framed in the name of 'doomsday', 'nuclear war' or other gut-wrenching events, I know that the Norwegians are simply doing what they do best, conserving and valuing our natural environment so it can be enjoyed for years to come despite human encroachment.
