<h3>Do you want to learn more from youth that work towards a more fair, sustainable, and prosperous planet?</h3><h3>Every first Tuesday of the month, the YAH NL presents Youth Share Online.

A safety vault for the protection of the biodiversity of our food crops. Currently, 1,074,537 different plant seeds are stored. The bunker has a total capacity to safeguard 4.5 million varieties. The biggest advantage of the <strong>Svalbard Global Seed Vault</strong> is its unique location, far from potential disasters such as earthquakes and wars, protected deep in the permafrost.</p><p>After eight months of networking, <strong>I was finally permitted to enter the Vault</strong>. I am happy to share my experience with you!</p><p>Christian&#x27;s work</p><p>My name is Christian Clauwers. As a professional climate/nature photographer and speaker, I focus on the relationship between man and nature from a number of perspectives, with the oceans as my primary theme. Evidence of the impact the human species has had on nature is staggering. The urgency required for the preservation of our oceans, which includes the biodiversity of our planet, cannot be overstated.</p><p>In December, I had the honour to show my work at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25), in Madrid, as an official Belgian delegate, which included presenting my work. Previous projects include a semi-circumnavigation of the Antarctic continent and sailing through the South Atlantic Ocean. In 2019, I joined the French Government’s mission to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (“T.A.A.F.”) in the South Indian Ocean.</p><p>With my photographic work, publications and lectures, my goal is to increase global awareness of the impact of declining biodiversity, the rising sea levels, coastal erosion, the decline of  sources and plastic pollution, both in society and on a political level. </p>
