Topics for the Beltsville Symposia are selected to highlight
specific areas of research and science policy that are of concern
to scientists in the Beltsville Area as well as to the general
scientific community. Each sympo sium in the series is structured
to provide a realistic appraisal of current findings, research
progress, and relevant policy issues within the constraints
established by the organizing committee. Thus, the presentations
and dis cussions that have marked these symposia have had a strong
appeal to the broad community of scientists. Knowledge of the
diversity of living organisms is still quite limited. Since the
time of Linnaeus, about 1.7 million species have been described.
The actual number has been estimated between 5-50 million. Many
species, land races, and strains are vanishing. Clearly, the
world's scientific institutions are inadequately equipped to attain
sufficient knowledge of a significant fraction of the diverse
living forms. Also, efforts in the collection and preservation of
germplasm of plants and animals urgently need to be strengthened.
These mattes are critically important to future generations. This
symposium addresses vital concerns of biotic diversity and germ
plasm preservation from diverse perspectives. Many of the parts
provide concrete recommendations for action, and they call
attention to areas of research that must be pursued with
intensity."
