Over 135,000 genetic deposits have been stored since the vault's opening, to be used at a further date in case crop diversity is threatened due to changing global conditions. The seed vault had its first withdrawal, caused by the war in Syria in 2015, and had minor flooding in May 2017. Vox Borders is a new international series focused on telling the human stories that emerge from lines on the map. Johnny will travel to six border locations to produce a final set of documentaries. While he travels he'll release dispatches on YouTube and Facebook documenting his experiences.
