Conserving Plant Genetic Diversity in Protected Areas: Population Management of Crop Wild Relatives
This book is about the conservation of genetic diversity of wild plants in situ in their natural surroundings, primarily in existing protected areas but also outside conventional protected areas. A lot of effort has been dedicated to conserving plant biodiversity, but most of this has focused on...

| description |
This book is about the conservation of genetic diversity of wild plants in situ in
their natural surroundings, primarily in existing protected areas but also outside
conventional protected areas. A lot of effort has been dedicated to conserving plant
biodiversity, but most of this has focused on rare plant communities or individual
species threatened with extinction. Similarly, while much has been done to collect
and conserve crop genetic diversity ex situ in gene banks, very little consideration
has been given to conserving intraspecific genetic diversity in situ and in particular
while designing protected areas.
Why should we care about the genetic aspect of biodiversity conservation?
Genetic diversity is in fact essential for any species to underwrite its ability to
adapt and survive in the face of environmental change. After all, the history of
life is a history of change, a constant adaptation of life forms to a dynamic world.
However, the rate at which our planet’s environment is now changing is dramatically
increasing due to the activities of humans around the world. Therefore, the
relevance of the genetic diversity of plants and other life forms to adapt to these
changing conditions is now higher than ever. Furthermore, as humans we also face
the uncertainty of our actions in the future. In an environmentally dynamic world
with a constantly increasing population and limited resources, we need to conserve
genetic diversity for our own food and environmental security. |
