In situ conservation of plant genetic resources: the view of WWF R. TAPPER, A. HAMILTON 1 The Convention on Biological Diversity The Convention on Biological Diversity was signed by over 154 states in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 and will come into force on 29 December 1993. The Convention places an obligation on those states which have ratified it to conserve biological diversity. Plant genetic resources are a part of this biological diversity and can be defined as consisting of that part of the plant world which is of actual or potential value to people. There are many existing uses of plants (for example, over 35,000 plant species, about a tenth of the total, have been used medicinally) and new uses are continually being discovered. It is thus wise to define the whole of plant diversity as a genetic resource. Plants are living things and conservation of plant diversity necessitates the continuing existence of those ecosystems of which plants form a part. Today, virtually all ecosystems have been, and continue to be, modified by people, who therefore must be considered integral ecosystem components. Furthermore, plant populations are not, and never have been, static entities; they have always been subject to evolutionary forces. Conservation of plant diversity does not imply that people should not cause alterations to ecosystems nor that plant diversity should remain unchanged, but rather that human interventions are of such a nature that a balance is struck between meeting human needs and safeguarding those irreplaceable genetic resources which are essential to meet these needs, both now and in the future. The Convention on Biodiversity emphasises the importance of in situ, as contrasted with ex situ, conservation. This is not to deny that ex situ preservation is not sometimes very important. The collection and maintenance of samples of plant germplasm in living collections, seed banks and other types of storage is clearly very useful for the rescue of genetic materials in cases where plant genetic diversity is being lost, whether this be in natural ecosystems or through the loss of traditional agricultural or forestry practices. However, ex situ preservation cannot replace the role of intact ecosystems in the maintenance of genetic diversity. Conceptually, ex situ preservation should be viewed as a temporary measure, necessary at a time of crisis. If conservation is intended, then ex situ preservation must sooner or later be linked with re-introductions into natural and appropriate agricultural or forestry ecosystems, so that genetic diversity forms, as in the long run it must, part of actively functioning and continually evolving ecosystems. 1 Authors' address: WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) Panda House Weyside Park, Godalming Surrey GU7 1XR United Kingdom
