Based on the resolutions of the first Ministerial Conference on the protection of forests in Europe, EUFORGEN was initiated in 1999 as an international program for promoting and coordinating the conservation of genetic resources of forest tree species. EUFORGEN maintains at present five networks for conserving certain species group. Hungary participates in four networks. Ongoing conservation activities are coordinated by the Forestry Commission of the Council of Plant Genetic Resources (NGT). The legalbases of gene conservation are provided by the recently introduced Forest Act and Nature Conservation Act. While the conservation of commercial tree species is supported primarily by forestry funds, propagation and conservation of rare species is also progressing due to increasing demand for commercial and protective planting.
