… the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) [was established in 1974] to coordinate an international plant genetic resources programme including emergency collecting missions, and building and expanding national, regional and international gene banks. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the [United Nations] (FAO) acted as secretariat. In 1991, IBPGR became the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) and in January 1994, IPGRI began independent operation as a CGIAR [Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research] center and at the request of CGIAR, took over the governance and administration of the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP). 5, record 1, English, - International%20Plant%20Genetic%20Resources%20Institute

Habitat fragmentation is the loss and subdivision of portion of a given habitat and the corresponding increase in other habitats in the landscape. It is one of the most important contributors to the loss of biological diversity in temperate regions. Because of fragmentation, large populations are being broken into local populations, and this can lead to extinction if the local populations cannot interact. 7, record 5, English, - biodiversity%20loss

La pérdida de biodiversidad es probablemente uno de los problemas científicos más importantes que tenemos que abordar en el Siglo XI. Bosques cortados y reducidos a su mínima extensión, transformaciones de tierras, cambios drásticos de usos del suelo, contaminación de suelos y aguas, sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, todo ello está llevando a la más grave extinción de biodiversidad que el hombre haya podido conocer a lo largo de su historia. Esta pérdida no sólo afecta a la vida silvestre(fauna y flora) sino a la diversidad genética cuyo ejemplo más cercano podemos encontrarlo en la desaparición de razas y variedades domésticas. 3, record 5, Spanish, - p%C3%A9rdida%20de%20biodiversidad
