Rete Italiana Banche del Germoplasma (RIBES)

The Italian Network of Germplasm Banks, is a collaborative initiative aimed at conserving plant biodiversity across Italy. This network unites various germplasm banks, research institutions, and botanical gardens to safeguard the genetic heritage of native plant species, particularly those that are endangered or endemic to specific regions. Through advanced seed storage techniques, cryopreservation, and tissue culture, RIBES ensures the long-term preservation of Italy’s rich and diverse flora. The network also plays a vital role in supporting restoration ecology projects by providing high-quality plant material for reintroduction into degraded habitats.

In addition to its conservation efforts, RIBES promotes public awareness and education about the importance of plant biodiversity. It engages with local communities, schools, and policymakers to emphasize the ecological and cultural significance of preserving native plant species. The network collaborates with international organizations to align its strategies with global biodiversity conservation goals, such as those outlined by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). By fostering research, encouraging sustainable practices, and advocating for stronger conservation policies, RIBES serves as a cornerstone in Italy’s efforts to combat biodiversity loss.

Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund

The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) was founded in 2000 to address this challenge by empowering civil society in developing countries and transitional economies to protect the world’s biodiversity hotspots, which are some of Earth’s most biologically rich yet threatened terrestrial ecosystems.

Through grants totalling more than US$296 million and technical assistance to over 2,700 civil society organizations and individuals, CEPF took action to conserve more than 1,300 species in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and strengthened the management and protection of 55.8 million hectares of Key Biodiversity Areas. CEPF grantees have also contributed to the establishment of 17.1 million hectares of new protected areas, and the improved management of 12.2 million hectares of production landscape—areas where agriculture, forestry or natural product harvesting occur.
