...soil erosion. Worldwide there is increasing interest in integrated production methods in agriculture and forestry and on-farm management of plant genetic resources, although progress to achieve this target has been somewhat limited. 7. At least 75 percent of known threatened plant species conserved in situ This target provides a measurable step toward effective in situ conservation of all threatened species. Interpretation of the target does cause problems as “conservation in situ” can mean conserving one population out of many, or it can...

...well, in situ, using the least possible quantity of consolidant, which subsequently often will have to be removed in the laboratory. An emulsion will be needed, for example, when the object is damp and needs consolidation. In any case, when used, the consolidant must be allowed to dry before the object can be lifted. The packaging, transfer, and storage of objects found in the field are also components of field conservation. Their objective is to keep the artifact in a stable condition until it undergoes conservation treatment in a conservation...
