How to update this portal

Use brief, date-stamped entries that link back into the hierarchy (Gene Pool → Growing Region → Growing Area → Appellation → Field → Accession) wherever possible.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
When an event directly affects a documented accession, update the accession and related region pages so conservation and status fields stay aligned.
Archive older items by moving them to subpages such as Portal:Current_Events/Archive_2025.
