Facilitating research
» Detailed maps of genetic resources
provide a foundation for scientific
research.
» Researchers can use this information
to study the relationships between
different species, analyze genetic
variations, and investigate the
ecological roles of specific organisms.
Informed decision making
» Policymakers can use mapped
data to make informed decisions
about land use, resource
management, and conservation
policies.This ensures that
decisions take into account the
need to protect and sustainably
use genetic resources.
Community engagement
» Maps can be powerful tools for
engaging local communities in
conservation efforts. By
visualizing the importance of
their local biodiversity,
communities are more likely to
participate in conservation
activities and sustainable
