INTERACTIVE TOOLKIT FOR
CROP WILD RELATIVE CONSERVATION PLANNING version 1.0
The preparation of a CWR inventory involves three steps:
1. Define which ancillary information should be added to each prioritized CWR.
Types of information for each priority CWR include: nomenclature, related crop(s), Gene Pool or Taxon Group relationship to each related crop, actual and potential utilization of the CWR for crop improvement, biology, habitats, ecogeography, direct uses, threats and threat status, current conservation actions and legislation. It should be emphasized that some of these data might have already been collated in the annotated CWR checklist to prioritize it (e.g. potential utilization for crop improvement, threat data).
2. Survey and add that information to the information system.
Various sources of information will need to be surveyed in order to be able to collate the ancillary information defined in the previous point. A checklist and inventory template to compile the CWR inventory is currently being developed.
3. Make the CWR inventory available to users.
This can be made via a scientific publication, grey publication, a website or a research data repository (e.g. Dataverse [1]).
