Abstract:

Some serious problems are currently faced by bamboo biodiversity conservation such as taxonomic confusions, lack of resource information, weak research ability, and serious destruction. Thus, the author suggested that we should focus on the following tasks in the future for the conservation of bamboo biodiversity: 1) Conducting the investigation, identification and conservation of unique, rare and endangered bamboos; 2) Establishing nature reserves; 3) Developing the cultivation and propagation of rare bamboos; 4) Enhancing the exsitu conservation of rare and endangered bamboos.

Key words: bamboos, biodiversity, conservation strategies
