Conservation of forest biological diversity, including forest genetic resources, is essential for sustaining the productive values of forests, for maintaining the health and vitality of forest ecosystems and, thereby, for maintaining their protective and environmental roles.
The greatest threat to forests and the diversity housed in them is the conversion of forests into other land uses. Increasing pressure from human populations and aspirations for higher standards of living, without due concern to sustainability of resources underpinning such developments, heighten concerns in this regard. While it is inevitable that land use changes will occur in the future, such changes should be planned to help ensure that complementary goals are achieved. This can be done by including concerns for conservation as a major component in land use planning and management strategies.
Protected areas constitute an important component of conservation strategies. However, protected areas are inadequate, on their own, to assure the conservation of trees and other forest-related species. Even if the often-quoted global target of 10-12% were attained and the conserved areas were appropriately located and properly managed, which unfortunately is often not the case at the present time, it has been estimated that only some 50% of species in the tropics could be safeguarded in such areas in the next few decades
