“…Despite its economic potential, H. speciosa fruits are mostly collected from nature (extractivism) since there are few orchards, which are impaired by the presence of recalcitrant seeds with a high loss of viability when stored [11,12]. The extractive harvesting of fruits (and seeds); recalcitrant seeds, which make it difficult to propagate the tree [13]; and fragmentation of habitats due to increased environmental degradation and anthropogenic action [14][15][16] are resulting in a decrease in natural occurrence areas of H. speciosa and contributing to the loss of genetic variability [13,15,17,18]. Thus, conservation strategies should be developed for this species [6,19].…”
