Now that the appeal has bought a one month review period and the
campaigns have caught President Medvedv's attention, it is critical
that we continue to build awareness of this issue. Here are 4 concrete
actions that Cary Fowler of the Global Crop Diversity Trust outlined ,
and a link to a great article that came out yesterday in the
Huffington Post about the importance of this resource. Media coverage
of this issue has been sparse- please do what you can to circulate
information on this issue within your networks.
