Alliance's Colombia genebank hits conservation target with shipment to Svalbard
The CGIAR genebank in Cali, Colombia, reached a conservation milestone in February 2020 with a shipment of safety duplicates of bean accessions to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. By providing 904 bean accessions, the Cali genebank hit a CGIAR target for two back-up copies of 90 percent of the bank’s almost 38,000 bean accessions in two geographically distant locations.
