| The research center of Mian-Jangal in Fasa, with an area of about 80 hectares, is located inside the protected area of Mian-Jangal with an area of 56 thousand hectares in the southeast of Shiraz city. This area is located in the south of Bakhtegan and Tashk lakes, southeast of Sarvestan, and west of Kharman Kooh, and the Shiraz-Bandar Abbas transportation road passes through it. This zone is located in the geographical position of E5315 and E5338 East longitude and N2815 and N2913 North latitude. Its altitude is 1750 meters above sea level. The Mian-Jangal station is protected as an In-Situ conservation site, attracting the attention of national and international experts for the richness of the crop’s wild relatives. This report describes the situation of the Mian-Jangal, the uniqueness of this habitat as a conservation site due to high biodiversity and having endemic species, and evaluates the impact of conservation on the populations of wild relatives of crops. The problems and threats of this area and suggestions for improving the current situation are presented. | ||
