End uses

1. Industrial wood (logs, sawtimber, construction wood, plywood, chip and particle board, wood pulp etc.)

2. Industrial non-wood products (gums, resins, oils, tannins)

3. Fuelwood, posts, poles (firewood, charcoal, roundwood used on-farms, wood for carving)

4. Other uses, goods and services (food, medicinal use, fodder, land stabilization/amelioration, shade, shelter, environmental values)

5. Biological information (natural distribution, taxonomy, genecology, phenology, etc.)

6. Collection of germplasm for evaluation

7. In situ (population studies)

8. Ex situ (provenance and progeny studies)

9. In situ

10. Ex situ

11. Semi-bulk/bulk seedlots, reproductive materials

12. Selection and improvement

For columns 1-4: as appropriate

For columns 5-11:

1. Highest priority, action should start, or be continued, with immediate effect
2. Prompt action recommended, action should start within next two biennia
3. Action required in the next five years
