Dear participants and colleagues, I will briefly present the main recommendation about exit conservation from the Co-Dent Global Strategy. The Co-Dent Global Strategy was prepared in 2013. In October, the complete draft of the first three chapters was sent to biodiversity, introduction, where we are now, and where we need to be. It was then reviewed by a panel of three international reviewers and three more from biodiversity. In November 2013, after integrating their comments, the text was ready. The publication of these three chapters was then delayed by five years, until 2018. The draft of chapter four, our plan for the next decade, has been submitted since the beginning of 2014. It is still to be published in 2023. We created 434 interactions. This means people publishing a section together, among about 90 authors from more than 20 countries. Cogent and all contributors agreed to the content of the strategy. Last global updating of the database was conducted in 2012 in the framework of the project, upgrading gene banks, funded by the Trust. The present global system, based on five international gene banks and 19 national gene banks, has not been fully efficient in term of both quality of conservation and germplasm sharing. Some national gene bank, for instance Philippines, Sri Lanka, ensure better quality conservation and exchange or supply more varieties than three of the international gene banks. Presently some varieties are conserved in more than 15 countries, including all the international gene banks, and some other varieties are conserved in one gene bank only. So, the main recommendations were, first, doubling the number of international gene banks. Second, set up a triplication system. For a given cultivar, no more than three accessions located in three distinct countries will be funded by the international system. In the future, it has been envisioned that any national gene bank ensuring the required level of quality of conservation and succeeding in placing part of its germplasm under international mandate could get the status of international coconut gene bank. The ambitious proposal of a strategy is to attribute crucial and central importance to the database on coconut genetic resources. International funding would depend on the quality of data provided by countries, and what this data indicates about the quality of their accessions. This system is suitable for a networked collection. It does not apply to large single conservation centers, one per species and under international mandate, which are funded by the global trust. That is why he is not in the habit of thought of the trust. An endowment fund was proposed to be USD 500,000 per year. Upon obtaining funding, part of this fund will be directly shared on a cultivar accession basis at the rate of 200 US dollars per accession per year after arbitration based on the database contents and conducted within the cogent network on the possible following basis. For a cultivar, no more than three accessions located in three countries will be funded by the international system. Funding will concern only accessions with well-filled and reliable data, number of living palms updated yearly. Funding will prioritize quality accessions in gene banks who effectively transferred this germplasm to other countries during the past 20 years. Excession-based funding will be reduced for countries which are not able to conduct efficient hand-controlled pollination for ensuring reliable international transfer and rejuvenation. At the beginning, because of low number of accessions reaching the quality standards, the Totality Endowment Fund will not be released to GeneBank. I will serve to create the database to train researchers to the use of the database, to upgrade technical capability of gene banks, and for germplasm transfers. Progressively, as the quality will increase, more and more funding will be released to gene banks on an accession basis. Please note that decisions on this subject should not be taken only by the current international gene banks, which may have different interests from those of the entire network. Here is a prospective diagram on the evolution of the number of varieties and populations conserved ex-itu. You may know that coconut nomenclature includes varieties, and populations within varieties, time is too short to explain it in detail. When I first presented this diagram, some people told me that it was too ambitious. In fact, the exchanges I had afterwards seemed to indicate that the overall number of populations collected around the world is much higher. Researchers continued to collect a lot. They often collected varieties with low numbers, because some interesting varieties and forms are represented by less than five individuals. On the other hand, no work has been done since 2012 at the global level to try to detect and remove duplicates. Moreover, the majority of collections have no means of reproducing accessions true to type. Many accessions are therefore active for at best 50 years, then they disappear, or amixed up. Since there has been no detailed follow-up since 2012, we are getting into a situation of clutter. We no longer know at the global level what has been collected, what is duplicated, what has disappeared, and what has been regenerated, and whether this regeneration was carried out reliably. Here are participants and colleagues, thank you for listening.
