Background photo: Though some species, such as Otay tarplant (Deinandra conjugens) have already been collected, sharing data lets us know how close we are to securing a true conservation collection of the species – with at least five populations secured with more than 50 individuals contributing seed in the collection. We know which populations have had seed collections, who has them, how old the collections are, and thus can prioritize where to collect next to secure genetic diversity of the species.
