The "National Day of Genetic and Biological Resources" in Iran is held annually on April 4th to raise awareness and emphasize the importance of preserving and utilizing the country's valuable genetic and biological reserves. This day provides an opportunity to highlight the critical role of genetic and biological resources in sustainable development and economic growth, particularly in fields like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Additionally, it underscores the need to conserve biodiversity and prevent habitat destruction and species extinction, as these resources are essential for maintaining ecosystem balance and meeting the needs of future generations.

Due to its diverse geography and climate, Iran is one of the richest countries in the region in terms of genetic and biological resources. In this regard, the "National Day of Genetic and Biological Resources" serves as an occasion to highlight scientific and research efforts in identifying, collecting, conserving, and documenting plant, animal, microbial, and other biological resources. This day also showcases the importance of national planning for the sustainable use of these resources and clarifies the role of research centers and gene banks in supporting national research and projects in this field.
