In South America, 60% of the original TDF ecosystem coverage has disappeared and in Colombia only 8% of its original cover stands. Remaining forest patches are very fragmented, immersed in landscapes dominated by crops and pasture. Ecosystem restoration is considered a global priority to contribu...

Tree-based restoration of the floristic and genetic diversity of tropical dry forest
The carob tree has been grown since antiquity in most countries of the Mediterranean region, and has spread in recent times to parts of the world with a Mediterranean climate such as California, Arizona, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Australia, South Africa and India. This monograph describes the gen...

In 1993, IPGRI published its first strategy as a new institute. The original Diversity for Development was written in the context of a world that had only come to grips with the connection between environment and development. The strategy described IPGRI's intention to concern itself primarily wi...

This book provides important information resulting from a lifetime dedicated to banana research. Ken Shepherd has not only devoted his life to studying bananas, but has focused on an area much neglected by other researchers, Musa cytology. The publishing of this book is especially timely given th...

Efficient use of coconut genetic resources has been hampered by difficulties in collecting and exchanging germplasm. Because of the size of the nuts and the fact that the nuts have no dormancy period, collecting of coconut seednuts is costly. This method of coconut collecting is expensive, and re...

This report examines the problem and reviews the mid-1987 status of some major crops. It looks at the scope available for improvement, for example in in vitro transfer of germplasm and improved indexing, and makes recommendations for future action. Also included are eight reports outlining the st...

In recent years it has become evident that there is no single publication that provides the prospective collector of plant germplasm with generic as well as specific, and theoretical as well as practical, information. It was to fill this gap that IPGRI, together with FAO, IUCN and UNEP, cooperate...
