Resumen
Descripción
Growing populations and pressure for social and economic development are leading to increasing rates of destruction and degradation of natural habitats, including forests and woodlands. The loss of natural resources and the degradation of land are already affecting the economies and well-being of the people in many countries, especially in the tropics. The loss of habitats are leading to accelerate rates of loss of genetic resources, which are fundamentally important in the adaptation and improv ement of plant species presetly under cultivation and those whose value is yet to be ascertained.
