Artificial Propagation Evaluation Workshop Report (April 21-23, 2004)

摘要

This report describes the workshop discussions, as well as the workshops conclusions regarding the extinction risk of 23 Evolutionary Signitficant Units (ESUs) that include artificial propagation programs. The workshop concluded that four ESUs are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and that 19 ESUs are likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Within-ESU artificial propagation programs substantially mitigated the immediacy of extinction risk for two ESUs.
