What a good diary, Magnifico. The point about seed banks not efficiently preserving biodiversity is really important.

Absolutely seconded. A brilliant diary. I'm not sure freedom fries congress could deal with apples from Kazachstan.

Re: Apples (none / 1)

i agree with both comments, great diary Magnifico. It is a very important topic. Though there are people who work to save the biodiversity - to many people are ignorant of it and its importance for health and in the end for survival of humans.
