When is a genebank not a genebank? When it is a collection dedicated to genetic study? Isabel Lapeña has some additional information and links on the avocado, cherimoya, lúcuma and mango at La Molina in Peru, which may or may not be genebanks and may or may not be threatened by office development.
A day after the TV program the Ministry of Agriculture declared that the project to construct the Ministry offices would not affect any “genebanks”. The issue here is that they may try to “des-clasify” the area as a genebank to avoid opposition. To my point of view the declarations are quite “pitiful”
