As natural disasters become more frequent and threats such as terrorism and nuclear war continue to endanger humanity, nations around the world are taking measures to prepare for potential global catastrophes. Many of these projects are referred to as “modern version of Noah’s Arks” due to their role in preserving life for the future.
