Abstract

International agreements dealing with biodiversity conservation, such as the Convention on biological
diversity (CBD), the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), the European Plant Conservation
Strategy (EPCS), and Count down 2010 (CD2010), remark the need for strong ex situ actions to be
undertaken by member countries as a complement to in situ initiatives. As member to said agreements,  Italy
has accepted, inter alia, to include 60% of threatened plant species in accessible ex situ collections by 2010
(target viii of GSPC).
