Service Description:
Global distribution of the crop wild relative (CWR) of the assessed genepools from all RTB crop genepools combined. The genebank collections of the CWR are threatened in the wild by habitat modification, the modernization of agricultural areas, and invasive species, among other factors, and climate change is likely to exacerbate their vulnerability.
CWR species richness for all RTB crop genepools combined. The species richness map illustrates the concentration of all assessed CWR species, regardless of final priority category, which indicate geographic areas where very large number of CWR species exist.

The gap analysis methodology relies on taxonomic, geographic, and environmental occurrence information, which is used to model the potential distribution of each CWR species of interest. Also includes an expert evaluation, in which researcher with knowledge of the conservation status and distribution of CWR in specific genepools are asked to analyze the gap analysis results.
Furthermore results for multiple crop genepools may be overlaid, which allow a global analysis of gaps in ex situ collections of the world's plant genetic resources. The full results of the gap analysis can be found on the Crop Wild Relatives Global Atlas on the Adapting Agriculture to Climate project website (http://www.cwrdiversity.org/conservation-gaps/).
