Forest trees are long-lived species with high genetic diversity that is crucial for their survival,
regeneration and adaptation. However, forest managers and conservationists are often not well informed
about the relevance of genetic aspects to population viability. Lack ...

Plant genetic resources education in Malaysia: ways forward: Report from a one-day consultation, 1 July 2011
Agrobiodiversity needs to enter university curricula in a broader fashion, to prepare graduates for both conserving and using agrobiodiversity sustainably. To tackle this issue, the first regional consultation on agrobiodiversity education in Sub-Saharan Africa was held in January 2009 in Nairobi...

Enhancing capacity in managing forest genetic resources: teaching and learning through case studies
Several universities in East and Southeast Asia established Master’s programmes on plant genetic resources (PGR) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, new policy instruments such as International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture have entered into force. Research...
