Tarek Silviculture Genetics Division, Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, Chittagong-4000 Abstract The present study was carried out to advance towards the conserving threatened forest tree species of Bangladesh under ex-situ conservation system. Four thousand plants of forty eight threatened forest tree species were conserved at three areas, namely Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, Chittagong University; Radar Unit of Bangladesh Air Force, Cox‟s Bazar; and the Keochia research station of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute.
