I-CIP Ifaka Amasampula Embewu Entsha angu-1,027 eSvalbard Global Seed Vault, Okuphakamisa Ukugcinwa Kweqoqo Layo e-Arctic Ku-91%

I-International Potato Center (CIP) ibeke amasampula embewu amasha angu-1,027 - okuhlanganisa nezihlobo zasendle zamazambane nobhatata, kanye ne-maca ne-ahipa - eSvalbard Global Seed Vault eNorway. Le diphozithi ibeka isabelo seqoqo lembewu ye-CIP ngekhophi yokusekela yase-Arctic ku-91%.

I-International Potato Center (CIP), enendlunkulu yayo ePeru, ibeke amasampula embewu amasha angu-1,027 eSvalbard Global Seed Vault eNorway, njengengxenye yemizamo yamazwe ngamazwe yokulondoloza ukuhlukahluka kwezakhi zofuzo zezolimo. Ngalesi sengezo, ama-91% eqoqo lembewu eligcinwe yi-CIP manje anekhophi eyisipele endaweni yokugcina izitshalo e-Arctic. Izinto zigcinwa njengomshwalense wokulahlekelwa okungenzeka okubangelwa izinhlekelele zemvelo, izingxabano, izifo, ukwehluleka kwezikhungo noma imiphumela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.

Izihlobo zasendle zamazambane nezinye izitshalo zase-Andean. Idiphozithi ifaka imbewu yezihlobo zasendle zamazambane nobhatata, kanye ne-maca, izinhlobo zasendle ezihlobene naleso sitshalo, kanye ne-ahipa. Sekukonke, ukuthunyelwa kwe-CIP kwakuhlanganisa izinto eziphathelene nezinhlobo ezingu-98. Izihlobo zasendle ziwumthombo obalulekile wezimpawu zofuzo abacwaningi nabafuyi abangazisebenzisa ukuthuthukisa izinhlobo ezinokubekezelela okukhulu ukushisa, isomiso, izinambuzane nezifo - izici ezikhuphukayo njengoba izimo zokukhula ziba zincane kakhulu ezindaweni ezigunyaziwe yisikhungo kulo lonke elase-Afrika, e-Asia naseLatin America.

Isipele sokuphepha, hhayi esinye. Indlu yokugcina izimpahla yaseSvalbard isebenza njengohlelo lokusekela umhlaba wonke lwamabhange ezakhi zofuzo. Imbewu egciniwe ihlala iyimpahla yezikhungo ezizithumele futhi zingakhishwa yizo kuphela. Ngakho-ke izinto ezigcinwe eNorway azithathi indawo yeqoqo elisebenzayo le-CIP eLima; kuyikhophi yokuphepha ehloselwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zinsiza zofuzo zingatholakala uma amasampula okuqala onakele, ebhujiswa noma engatholakali okwesikhashana.

Amasampula angaphezu kuka-16,000 afakwe ngo-Okthoba. Idiphozithi eyenziwe ngomhlaka-13 Okthoba 2026 yahlanganisa izikhungo ezingu-21 futhi yanezela amasampula embewu angu-16,676 endaweni yokugcina impahla. Amabhange ayisithupha e-gene ohlelo lwe-CGIAR anikele ngokuhlanganyela amasampula angu-8,917. Iminikelo emikhulu kakhulu ivela e-International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) enamasampula angu-3,370, i-International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) enamasampula angu-2,039, i-International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) enamasampula angu-1,890, kanye ne-CIP enamasampula angu-1,027.

Ukulondolozwa kwezolimo zesikhathi esizayo. Ukulondoloza lezi zinto kuhloswe ukugcina izinsiza zofuzo zitholakala ocwaningweni, ekuzaleni izitshalo kanye nokwakha izinhlelo zokudla eziqinile. I-Svalbard Global Seed Vault kakade inamasampula embewu angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.4 ngaphakathi kwentaba esiqhingini saseNorway. Lesi sikhungo singesikaHulumeni waseNorway futhi siphethwe ngokubambisana neNordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen) kanye ne-Crop Trust.

Ngokuqondene nomkhakha wamazambane, ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwe-CIP's Arctic backup kubalulekile ekuzaleni okusebenzayo: izihlobo zamazambane zasendle kanye namazambane amazambane athosiwe manje atholakale eSvalbard ziyizinto zokusetshenziswa zezinhlobo zesikhathi esizayo ezivumelaniswe nokushisa, ukucindezeleka kwamanzi kanye nezinambuzane ezisafufusa - zona kanye izingcindezi abaprosesa kanye nabalimi sebevele bebika ezindaweni ezibalulekile zokukhiqiza. Idiphozithi ka-Okthoba iphinde igcizelele indlela inethiwekhi ye-CGIAR genebank ehlanganisa ngayo izipele zayo zokuphepha: ngezikhungo eziyisithupha ezisebenza ndawonye ekuthunyelweni okukodwa, ukulondolozwa kwemvelo kubhekwa njengengqalasizinda ehlanganyelwe kunokuba kube uchungechunge lwemizamo kazwelonke ehlukanisiwe. Lokho kuhlanganiswa kunciphisa ingozi yokuthi noma yikuphi ukwehluleka kwesikhungo esisodwa - kungaba ubuchwepheshe, ezezimali noma ezepolitiki - kungasusa izinto zofuzo eziyingqayizivele ezigcinwe endaweni eyodwa kuphela.
