Guidelines for genetic <strong>conservation</strong> <strong>and</strong> use<br />

When it is not possible to apply in <strong>situ</strong> <strong>conservation</strong>, or<br />

measures for seed supply, <strong>ex</strong> <strong>situ</strong> <strong>conservation</strong> must be<br />

considered:<br />

the seeds must be collected from many trees with a<br />

distance <strong>of</strong> more than 200 m between them, to enlarge<br />

the genetic basis <strong>and</strong> to avoid relatedness,<br />

planting conditions must be carefully controlled,<br />

the strategy could be combined with ecological<br />

engineering techniques used in environmental<br />

restoration projects <strong>and</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> seed banks.
