This document summarizes a study that identified global priorities for collecting and conserving crop wild relatives. The study analyzed 1079 crop wild relative taxa for 81 globally important crops. Researchers gathered occurrence data from 420 sources and modeled species distributions to measure sampling, geographic, and ecological representativeness. This identified collecting "hotspots" and prioritized taxa for collection. The results support ex situ conservation of crop wild relatives by targeting areas and species that will fill gaps in collections.
