The European network project GenRes Bridge combines 3 pillars of RARe: plant, forest and animal.

GenRes Bridge aims to strengthen conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources (GenRes).
Genetic resources refer to genetic material of plant, animal or microbial origin of actual or potential value, such as a medicinal plant, agricultural crop, tree variety or animal breed.
The project will accelerate collaborative efforts and widen capacities in plant, forest and animal GenRes domains by sharing perspectives, exchanging best practices, harmonizing standards, trainings and sharing resources under the auspices of the three pan-European GenRes networks: ECPGR, EUFORGEN and ERFP.
Collaboration among GenRes and biodiversity actors will increase the sustainable practices in management of GenRes.
