Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre (TRCRC): A M’sian NGO dedicated to the conservation of rare and endangered tree species.

The Tropical Rainforest Living Collection Merisuli team works on the entire process of rainforest restoration — from seed surveys, nursery management, tree planting, to maintenance and census of the planted trees.

As it stands, about 103 species account for 90% of the world’s food crops. This lack of diversity makes our food production systems more vulnerable to the pressures of climate change, pests and diseases. However, many industrial agricultural practices rely on standardisation of biological processes, utilising monocultures rather than embracing biodiversity. These practices can often lead to dire consequences.

Eventually, the pests and diseases did come, in the form of the Panama disease, a soil-borne fungus that eventually wiped out the commercial Gros Michele plantations and nearly drove the Gros Michele to extinction. By relying on a single cultivar, the banana industry was left vulnerable to this banana wilt, as any single threat could wipe out the entire plantations.
