Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable wild plant species that can be used as genetic resources providing adaptive traits to crop plants and therefore they play an important role in future food security. This paper describes in situ and ex situ conservation planning of CWR species in Finland and includes the following parts: (a) drafting of the national CWR priority list, (b) undertaking the in situ conservation gap analysis and (c) identifying ex situ conservation gaps and multi-species collecting sites for the CWR in Finland. As a result of the study, essential information was acquired, which will enhance future planning of active science-based practical conservation of CWR in Finland. Based on the new data and earlier work, a number of conservation recommendations are presented. This national work has been carried out in connection with the larger Nordic regional CWR co-operation.
作物野生近缘种（CWR）是有价值的野生植物物种，可作为遗传资源为农作物提供适应性性状，因此它们在未来粮食安全中发挥着重要作用。本文描述了芬兰CWR物种的原地和迁地保护规划，包括以下部分：（a）起草国家CWR优先清单，（b）进行原地保护差距分析，以及（c）确定芬兰CWR的迁地保护差距和多物种采集地点。研究结果获得了重要信息，这将加强芬兰未来基于科学的CWR积极实际保护规划。基于新数据和早期工作，提出了一些保护建议。这项国家工作是在更大规模的北欧区域CWR合作中开展的。
