About CWR
Crop wild relatives are the wild ‘cousins’ of our cultivated crops. In the same way that the wolf is related to the dog, CWR are related to our food plants.

The Project
The project Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: “Collecting, Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives” aims to collect important species of crop wild relatives, ensure their long-term conservation, and facilitate their use in breeding new, improved crops.

Resources
This Project has led to the development of a number of tools and resources for people interested in collecting, conserving and using crop wild relatives in breeding.

Crop Wild Relatives Project Map
The interactive Partners Map illustrates the global nature of the community of partners involved in Project activities, and provides descriptions of partners by country, genepool, and activity.
There are three ways to visualize the Project's community of partners:
By Activity
You can view the partners by the activity with which they are involved (pre-breeding or collecting).By Genepool
You can view the partners by the crop genepools with which they work.By Country Summary
You can view the partners by the country in which they are based.
