Meeting TARGET EIGHT - ex situ conservation of Croatian threatened and statutorily protected plant species in the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb (Croatia)

According to the “Target 8” of Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC, 2011-2020), at least 75% of threatened plant species must be preserved in ex situ garden-collections, preferably in the countries of their origin, until 2020. The aim of the present study was to examine the list of Croatian threatened and statutory protected plant species in ex situ conservation of the Botanical Garden (Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb). Out of 668 indigenous taxa of the Garden’s native-plant collections, we found 208 strictly protected and protected species, which is 12.7% of all statutory protected taxa in Croatia. In the categories RE, CR, EN and VU there are 31 species, which is 13.1% of threatened taxa in Croatia in those categories. In all categories, we found 80 taxa listed in the Red Book of Vascular flora of Croatia, 24 taxa are identified in the European Red List of Vascular Plants, while 10 taxa are found in the IUCN-Red List of Threatened Species in the World. Serious efforts are yet to be made in ex situ conservation of Croatian threatened species, in order to achieve the goals of “Target 8”.

USUSRET “CILJU BROJ OSAM”: EX SITU OČUVANJE HRVATSKIH UGROŽENIH I ZAKONOM ZAŠTIĆENIH BILJAKA U BOTANIČKOM VRTU PRIRODOSLOVNO-MATEMATIČKOG FAKULTETA SVEUČILIŠTA U ZAGREBU -- Jedan od glavnih ciljeva svjetskih botaničkih vrtova do kraja ovoga desetljeća slijediti je smjernice Globalne strategije za očuvanje biljaka (Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, GPSC 2011-2020). Jedna od 19 smjernica, poznata kao “Cilj broj osam” (“Target 8”), propisuje da bi botanički vrtovi do 2020. godine u uzgoju (ex situ očuvanje) trebali imati najmanje 75% ugroženih samoniklih biljnih svojti matične zemlje. Slijedom toga, glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi “nulto stanje” u Botaničkom vrtu Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu: izraditi detaljan popis ugroženih i zakonom zaštićenih svojti Hrvatske flore, podrijetlom s hrvatskih staništa, u zbirkama samoniklih biljaka Hrvatske. U zbirkama Botaničkog vrta Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu trenutačno raste 668 samoniklih biljnih vrsta (iz 75 porodica i 141 roda) sabranih na prirodnim staništima, od kojih je 118 zakonom zaštićeno, a 90 strogo zaštiće
