APPENDIX 10

FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES PRIORITIES
(BY REGION, SPECIES AND OPERATION)
SPECIES IDENTIFIED AS HIGH, GLOBAL, REGIONAL AND/OR NATIONAL PRIORITY

NOTES

(i) General Observations

The present Appendix, complementing Appendix 9, represents an attempt to provide a list of high priority forest tree species at regional, eco-regional or sub-regional level.

The present list does not present an exhaustive list of woody perennial species in need of attention. It aims at providing information on those species and provenances which the FAO Panel of Experts on Forest Gene Resources, during its 12th Session in November 2001, considered should be given high priority in the work programme of international, regional, bilateral and national institutions and agencies, the private sector, and FAO.

The Panel of Experts recognized that many of the priority ratings must be considered tentative; the list will need continuing up-dating and must be modified in the light of new information, knowledge and needs.

The list is based on the experts' opinion. The diversity of forest types, status and condition, and the different types and scales of values used to rank forest tree species among countries and cultures, makes the establishment of objective, global guidelines, a difficult exercise. In their own capacity, and on the basis of their personal experience, experts have reviewed information from national and regional sources, and ranked those species which appeared to present high actual or potential value, at species or population level²³. Lists given for the Pacific Islands are drawn from conclusions of the Pacific Sub-regional Workshop on Forest and Tree Genetic Resources.

The present list includes, and should be reviewed in conjunction with, those species ranked as top priority for FAO's coordinated work (Appendix 9). There is, furthermore, a need to supplement both lists drawn up by the Panel with more detailed, national lists of priorities at local and national level.

This list emphasizes the importance of the genetic variation between species, and within species, and does not specifically target endangered or threatened species or populations because of their endangered condition. Similarly, although in exceptional cases referring to genera, the list does not refer to ecosystems or biota.

Readers interested in endangered or threatened tree and shrub species may wish to refer to:

(i) the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, at http://www.redlist.org/;

(ii) the World List of Threatened Trees, by S. Oldsfield, C. Lusty and A. MacKinven, World Conservation Press, Cambridge, 1998;

(iii) the World Conservation Monitoring Centre's Tree Conservation Database, available on Internet at: http://www.wcmc.org.uk/cgi-in/SaCGI.cgi/trees.exe?FNC=database_Aindex_html

(ii) Legend

A fold-out flap on the inside of the back cover summarizes the indications given below.

"Main End Use of Species" (columns 1-4)

Column 1, "Industrial Wood": sawn logs, timber, heavy construction wood, plywood, chip and particle board, wood pulp.

Column 2, "Industrial Non-Wood Products": gums, resins, oils, tannins or other products used in small, medium and large-scale local and non-local industries.

Column 3, "Fuelwood, Posts, Poles": firewood and wood used for the production of charcoal and energy; roundwood used on-farm.

Column 4, "Other Uses (goods, services)": food, fodder, land stabilization, soil amelioration, shade, shelter and other environmental and cultural or religious values.

"Operations/Activities"

The list indicates priority on a scale from 1 to 3 for the various operational steps identified: exploration, evaluation, conservation and utilization of germplasm (including selection and breeding), as follows:

(1) Highest priority

(2) Prompt action recommended

(3) Action is important, but of less urgency than that for species listed as priority (1) and (2).

"Remarks" column

PVT = provenance trial

PGT = progeny trial

CLT = clonal trials

SO = seed orchard

(F) = endangered at species or provenance level

MPTS = multi purpose tree species

The fold-out flap on the inside of the back cover recalls the indications given above.
