Description
The lack of institutional and political frameworks under which adequate land management choices can be developed and efficiently implemented may hamper the achievement of ex situ and in situ conservation targets. Successful plant conservation depends on effective strategies and collaborations among countries, regions, local administrations, the scientific community, NGOs, and other stakeholders.
In particular, robust national-level programmes that focus on the relationship between ex situ and in situ plant conservation activities are urgently needed. In addition, plant conservation in the Mediterranean would be significantly enhanced through effective dissemination of plant conservation research outcomes, development of local conservation networks to foster long-term co-operation, strengthening of regional networks among Mediterranean countries, and sharing of experiences and lessons learned in different projects.
