The first report on The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources constitutes a major milestone in building the information and knowledge base on forest genetic resources at national, regional and international levels.

The report was prepared based on information provided by 86 countries, outcomes from regional consultations and findings of thematic studies. It presents an overview of concepts related to these resources and their values, reviews drivers of change and relevant technologies, analyzes the state of conservation and use of the resources, and provides recommendations for action.
