| dcterms.abstract | This document presents the results of analyses to ascertain the potential of the Natura 2000 network to conserve crop wild relatives (CWR). We obtained distribution data of European priority CWR from large international biodiversity databases and filtered the records to obtain a high quality georeferenced dataset. This dataset contains over 2.8 million records of 568 different priority crop wild relatives. To lay the foundation for the design of a network for the conservation of crop wild relatives in Europe, we analyzed the presence of priority taxa in the Natura 2000 network. We also consulted the Habitats Directive to identify priority crop wild relatives that are characteristic of the protected habitats under Annex I of the Directive, as well as those listed in Annexes II, IV and V. The results show great potential of the Natura 2000 network for the conservation of crop wild relatives, with 519 priority taxa within just 31% of its sites. In addition, 84 priority CWR taxa have been identified as characteristic species of 83 priority habitats of the Directive, and 17 of them are also listed in Annexes II and IV. These findings support the value of using the existing biodiversity conservation infrastructure in Europe for crop wild relative conservation in situ. With very little additional cost involved, the in situ conservation of European priority crop wild relatives could provide added value to the Natura 2000 network through their mportant contribution to the maintenance of food security. | en |
