Relocation strategy to conserve genetic conservation units at risk

The European Forest Genetic Resources Programme (EUFORGEN) presents the report “dynamic and static ex situ conservation”, a report developed through the collective expertise of the EUFORGEN network who are engaged in the conservation of forest genetic resources. Building upon decades of experience, it seeks to clarify terminology, establish minimum requirements and data standards, propose indicators and provide guidance for both dynamic and static ex situ approaches, supporting European and national conservation strategies. This report comes at a time when integrating ex situ efforts into broader European strategies has become increasingly urgent.
