and the FAO organized an expert consultation on in situ conservation of forest genetic resources in 1980 (Food and Agriculture Organization and United Nations Environment Program, 1981~. The purpose of the group was to provide advice on guidelines for the selection and management of in situ genetic conservation areas, the possibilities of combining general conservation with other management objectives (such as ecosystem conservation and production forestry)

It is still too early to evaluate the impact of this program on global conservation of forest genetic resources. The TFAP has, however, provided a framework within which international donor agencies can focus activities, and at a November 1988 meeting, organizational plans were advanced for research and development programs.

This type of information is very important to those using and managing minor forest tree genetic resources (von Carlowitz, 1986~. In 1989, the ICRAF received a total of more than $7.2 million in financial support from governments, foundations, national organizations, and international institutions.

, MAB is engaged in a program of inventorying and monitoring all the vegetation in the biosphere reserves and creating a system of inventory that will enable a global estimate to be made of the extent to which biosphere reserves are assisting in the conservation of genetic resources and biodiversity. The MAB program works through a network of pilot projects at present mainly in the humid tropics.

The center collects and distributes high-quality, source-identified seed of commercially promising Australian woody plants for research purposes, provides professional advice on the choice of species and seed supply, and provides technical information on species of value and makes the materials widely available. During 1982-1985, the center undertook 45 major collecting programs, about half of which involved the collection of Eucalyptus seed.

The projects cover exploration, taxonomy, collection, seed storage and distribution, field trials, establishment of conservation stands, evaluation, and conservation and development of genetic improvement strategies for a number of tropical species. Since 1963, the OFI has made collections in the entire Central American region for provenance and progeny trials, especially of pines.

Related aspects of the project will include research on the geographic patterns of genetic variation in the above-mentioned fir, pine, and spruce species, restoration of several ongoing gene conservation collections that have fallen into disrepair, and a computerbased catalog of lands dedicated to forest gene conservation.

The FAO and the IUFRO are serving important functions in this regard, but a greater effort is needed. The pressures on forest genetic resources in industrialized and nonindustrialized countries differ in many respects, but the stability of future forest genetic resources for both could be enhanced through greater international leadership and coordination.

They may require support and assistance to do so, but for their own local benefit. If the benefits and uses extend beyond national boundaries, however, then international interest in conserving and using those resources exists, and direct cooperative support is warranted.
