SITU CONSERVATION [10 records]

Record 1 2018-12-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Farm Management and Policy
  • Environment
CONT

Over the past decades, a commendable effort to conserve crop diversity has resulted in the establishment of more than 1, 700 genebanks around the world that safeguard over 7. 4 million crop samples. These valuable ex situ conservation efforts must be complemented, however, by parallel actions that encourage the maintenance of crop diversity in farmers’ fields and enhance its use to unleash its nutrition, livelihood and sustainability benefits. On-farm conservation enables the continuation of dynamic processes of crop adaptation to shifts in the environmental and socio-cultural context and also facilitates the preservation of knowledge that is essential to the cultural valorization of the crops.

The Center for Plant Conservation(CPC) is dedicated solely to preventing the extinction of U. S. native plants. The Center was one of the first organizations created to meet this need. [It] is a network of more than 40 leading botanic institutions. Founded in 1984, [CPC] operates the only coordinated national program of off-site(ex situ) conservation of rare plant material. This conservation collection ensures that material is available for restoration and recovery efforts for these species. CPC also works in research, restoration, technical assistance, education and advocacy through the efforts of the network and the national office.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
CONT

Status of ex situ conservation facilities. Plants, animals, or micro-organisms are said to be surviving "out of place" or ex situ when people have taken them out of their natural ecosystem(where they were evolving on their own terms). Such "captive" organisms are now surviving from year-to-year because of the active care being provided by humans.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
CONT

On dit qu'un végétal, un animal ou un microorganisme survit ex situ (littéralement : «hors de son lieu»), lorsqu'il a été enlevé de son écosystème naturel (où il pouvait évoluer de lui-même). Ces organismes «captifs» ont besoin des soins des humains pour survivre d'une année à l'autre et sont soumis à de nouvelles pressions de sélection, dont l'endogamie, ce qui peut modifier leur matériel génétique.
