Local working collections as the foundation for an integrative conservation of Theobroma cacao L. in Latin America by Lavoie, Andreanne, Thomas, Evert, Olivier, Alain

“…However, these establishments face various challenges, notably insufficient funding, accession redundancy, misidentification and lack of wild cacao population samples. In natural environments, it is expected that unknown varieties of cacao may still be found, but wild populations of cacao are increasingly threatened by climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, land use changes and poor knowledge. …”
