Forest Genetic Resources Training Guide |
Module 1
Species conservation strategies
This Module allows students to consider the use of genetic information in the development of conservation strategies for individual species of varying genetic characteristics in different types of landscapes.
Presently this module is composed of three case studies aiming to address the overall question: How to develop a species genetic conservation strategy for a species where most required information is available?
The Module explores forest genetic resources aspects such as:
- Conservation paradigms – in situ, ex situ, through use (circa situm)
- Biological corridors
- Genetic processes associated with small populations – which populations are too small?
- Identifying threats – genetic and others
