Abstract

This paper provides an overview on the natural distribution and status of native genetic resources of Khaya senegalensis, a high-value hardwood timber species first planted in Northern Territory, Australia, more than 40 years ago. The strategies and achievements of a programme on the conservation and genetic improvement of K. senegalensis that commenced in 2001 in Northern Territory, are discussed. The potential options for the conservation and genetic improvement, and research and other inputs needed to ensure the development of the programme are presented.
