The overall goal of the project is to establish of a Web-based,
permanent and easily accessible information system on forest
genetic resources to link national FGR inventories at
pan-European level and to support practical implementation of
gene conservation and sustainable forest management in Europe.
The specific objectives of EUFGIS are:
-
To create a Web-based, permanent information system to serve
as the European documentation platform for national FGR
inventories;
-
To establish a network of FGR inventories in 40 countries to
provide data for the information system;
-
To develop minimum requirements for dynamic gene
conservation units of forest trees and common information
standards for these units at pan-European level;
-
To make available, as a first step, harmonized data on the
dynamic gene conservation units of 20 tree species from at
least 80 % of the countries within each species’
distribution range in Europe; and
-
To provide training on FGR documentation to national focal
points in these countries.
