National activities on plant genetic resources There are 70 botanic gardens in the Czech Republic (Table 3), belonging to different institutions, schools, cities etc. Methodological coordination is provided by Advisory Committee for Botanic Gardens, members of which are skilled specialists. Size and scientific level of particular botanic gardens are of course rather different, depending on the main mandate and financial sources.

On the contrary, only few botanic gardens in high schools have more than local importance.
L. Dotlacil; Z. Stehno; M. Resatko Cooperation between institutions dealing with genetic resources of agricultural plants and botanic gardens is not developed. Mostly it depends on the personal contacts of specialists. One of the fields of mutual cooperation can be based on the situation that Gene Bank in RICP Praha has capacity for long-term storage, which could be used by some botanic gardens for maintenance of seed-propagated species. Up to now this service of gene bank is used only by Institut of Botany, Pr_honice. Establishing of more productive contacts is one of the tasks in plant genetic resources conservation in the Czech Republic. Important role in "in situ" conservation have protected areas, where plants are protected by law and industrial and/or agricultural activities are limited. Three types of preserves are distinguished, according to the level of protection: National Natural Preserve (highest level of protection), National Natural Monument and Natural Preserve (Table 4). Altogether, there are 666 protected areas in the Czech Republic. In many cases, protected areas have been established to maintain endangered plant species or ecosystems. Taking in account the risks of loss, three levels of danger are characterized (Table 5). In the Czech Republic are presently protected 480 plant species, 245 of them as critically endangered. Recently the research project "Active help to endangered species of selected animals and plants" has been prepared by The Czech Institute for Nature Protection. The aim of the project is protection of biodiversity for global strategy of sustainable development. Research of populations of protected species and their protection will be carried out in the framework of this project. Another research projects has been prepared by the Czech Academy of Science and its Institute of Botany. Cooperation has been discussed between research projects on wild plants and those on genetic resources of agricultural crops. Mutual cooperation in collecting has been agreed; samples of some species will be provided to the agricultural institutes dealing with relevant crops.
