Using local agricultural biodiversity - A Kenyan farmer's story
Peninah Mwangangi has a smallholder farm in the arid region of Kitui, in eastern Kenya. She explains how using local traditional food crops have helped mitigate against harvest loss when the rains don't come. This is the third story in our 'Fork in the Road' series as part of our Rio+20 campaign.
Why understanding forest genetic resources is vital for future options
Laura Snook Programme Leader, Forest Genetic Resources Conservation and Use, talks about the need to harness the huge genetic diversity of different tree species to face challenges such as climate change and find sustainable ways to use and conserve it for our future. This video is the latest from our Rio+20 campaign blog.

Spatial Analysis of Plant Diversity and Distribution – New training manual
Spatial analysis is an important tool for gathering information about plant diversity in specific geographic areas around the world.
Monitoring the status of plant species and patterns of distribution enables us to set priority areas for conservation, identifying which species are most at risk and where we have gaps in collections. This vital information helps us tackle global challenges such as food security and climate change.
As part of its capacity building programme, Bioversity has published a training manual for practitioners who work with biodiversity data and want to develop spatial analysis skills using free Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. The manual is available for download as part of our training materials series. [Read more]
A great training manual! congratulations!
A great achievement, filling an important gap.
