We need to prepare for the emergence of viruses (and bacteria and other...critters) that we have not been around for a very long time.

Anthrax emerged from the permafrost out of the body of a frozen reindeer that died 75 years ago.

Here is info from a general magazine, Popular Mechanics.

And I"m trying to determine what is the current status of the Seed repository-in Svalbard.
