Conservation <strong>of</strong> Genetic Resources in the dipterocarpaceae 54<br />
involves a number <strong>of</strong> institutions in India, Indonesia,<br />
Malaysia and Thailand.<br />
Apart from insufficient funding, the major factor<br />
constraining progress has been the lack <strong>of</strong> a coordinated<br />
programme with clear objectives and predetermined<br />
priorities. With the establishment <strong>of</strong> institutions such<br />
as CIFOR and IPGRI, it should be possible to undertake<br />
a cohesive research programme with well defined goals.<br />
