Chile's last wild tree of its species clings to a cliff on Robinson Crusoe Island. Scientists gathered 400 seeds and flew the few viable ones to a UK vault to save them
A single tree, Dendroseris neriifolia, faces extinction on Robinson Crusoe Island. Scientists collected seeds from this lone survivor for conservation efforts. These seeds were transported to the Millennium Seed Bank for storage and germination. This project aims to safeguard the species against habitat loss and invasive threats. The initiative offers renewed hope for the island's unique biodiversity.
