Today one of the most common points in conservation/sustainability is biological diversity. This term has been included as a target in conservation strategies since the conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Biodiversity is considered to be a great capital asset worldwide with possible and sustainable benefits. The loss of biodiversity is global issue and it's being arranged with international regulations. If the nutrition need for the whole world's population is considered, plant derived genetic resources are really important for food and agriculture. Therefore, understanding these properties and analyzing them with a geographical perspective is the primary objective.
