South Australia is flying rare native seeds back from a British bank to save a species from extinction.
Precious native pea seeds collected from the Adelaide Hills 13 years ago are winging their way home from London to help revegetate fire-ravaged land in the region.
“We’ve recalled some seeds back from the Millennium Seed Bank in the United Kingdom – they’ve been in transit in Sydney for a few weeks on their way back,” seed biologist Daniel Duval said.
