| Indicator name | Number of plant and animal genetic resources secured in either medium or long-term conservation facilities |
| Global / Proxy indicator | Global indicator |
| Description of indicator |
For plants: This indicator refers to the number of plant originated genetical materials being conserved at middle and long-term gene banks. For animals: This indicator refers to the number of animal originated genetical materials (embryo, DNA, cell, sperma) being conserved at middle and long-term gene banks. |
