Plant Conservation Programmes

With Romania, Bulgaria and Luxembourg, Moldova has an integrated programme of in situ and ex situ conservation “Genetic resources of broadleaved forest tree species in southeastern Europe”, launched in 1997 and coordinated by IPGRI.

A project called "Biodiversity Conservation in the Lower Dniester Delta Ecosystem” is aimed to create a National Park and a local Ecological Network, to rehabilitate the nature and to arrange collaboration, to develop eco- and agro-tourism. The National Park will be linked with parallel efforts in Ukraine (under the proposed Azov Black Sea Corridor Biodiversity project) and in Romania. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility.
