Visit<a href=http://www.planttreaty.org/"> <i>ITPGRFA site internet</i>.</a> Peru’s Potato Park, a unique 15 000 ha reserve high in the Andes, was established to conserve the region’s potato biodiversity, a task that has become increasingly difficult as warming climates have altered the growing patterns of some of the area’s local varieties. The reserve is home to six indigenous Quechua communities whose 8 000 residents manage their communal lands jointly for their collective benefit. The co mmunal activities are spearheaded by the organization known as the “guardian of native potatoes”, the Papa Arariwa Collective.
