From the article:
If the world as we know it comes to an end (maybe even starting with an earthquake, birds and snakes and airplanes), future generations will have access to a vault containing duplicates of seed samples from the world’s crop collections, a frozen Noah’s Ark of animal DNA to bring species back from extinction, and if a new initiative pans out as intended, a black box to record how it all went down.
This week saw the launch of Earth's Black Box, a well-intentioned but somewhat morbid project of questionable value in Tasmania, Australia.
