The anthropogenic action is causing a depletion of the biodiversity in the planet. Pollution, deforestation, exploitation and introduction of exotic species are some examples. Many plants and animal species are suffering the risk of extinction or have been already extinct. Recent studies estimate the existence of eight million species on Earth, of which at least 15,000 are on risk to disappear. In this sense, we are looking at a scenario where the genetic biodiversity has been drastically reduced. Therefore, the survival of our environmental is on human hands. A promising option is the use of genetic approaches for conservation maintenance as an alternative to minimize the human action.
