Promoting conservation and appropriate use of forest genetic resources in Europe. Genetic conservation is not a project: it is forever! Hosted by the European Forest Institute (EFI). https://www.euforgen.org/ https://bsky.app/profile/euforgen.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/euforgen.bsky.social/post/3mpgfgiowes24🌲 Europe's forests need a common language. For years, European countries conserved forest genetic resources in isolation. Not anymore! #EUFORGEN's new report establishes harmonised standards for ex situ conservation across Europe. https://www.euforgen.org/about-us/news/news-detail/euforgen-report-sets-out-standards-for-ex-situ-conservation-of-forest-genetic-resources29 Jun 2026 11:34 +0000at://did:plc:vghkcmn2mmvv7d3j5algbutd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpgfgiowes24https://bsky.app/profile/euforgen.bsky.social/post/3mmti7n4iqk2e🌱 How do we ensure forests can withstand climate extremes? It starts with seeds! At #ISF2026, EUFORGEN highlighted how forest genetic resources underpin resilient forests. Stronger cooperation is key to tackle climate variability and wildfires.
