Target 13:By 2020, Strategies to reduce genetic erosion developed and implemented to maintain genetic diversity of cultivated plants, farmed and domesticated animals and their wild relatives.
Recent studies demonstrate that genetic diversity is declining in natural ecosystems as well as in agricultural and livestock production systems. The extent of such decline and its overall impacts has not been adequately documented. Establishment of inventory and management plan of threatened genetic species of cultivated plants, farmed and domesticated animals including their wild relatives non timber forest products and establishment and strengthening of gene banks are considered as key steps towards protecting genetic diversity of species in the country.
