the problem is even worst because most of the work done by heritage seeds
savers is focus primarly on what they consider vital : grains and pulses .
I have a friend that i helped in the past when he first started , that grow
mostly grains and pulses ( he have hundreds varieties of beans for ex )

while there is so much to do to save and reproduce  other plants and animals
varieties and also many plants still wild and edible but not part of the
crop scheme and which are threaten in their existence because wild
ecosystems are disapearing , their former consumers and reproducers having
also disapeared ( native peoples ...).
FRom  the instinctive  eating perspective ,we also suspect that the
introduction of cooking had also as a consequence the extinction of some
hominids or humans specific foods as they became hard to be appreciated by a
palate used to cooked food .
The survival of a species depend as much  on the predators that appreciate
that species than on the predators not overconsuming them .( some plants
need predation to favorise their seeding and animals need the selection of
their members into good health.
