Abstract
⺠Fraxinus excelsior is threatened by an emerging fungal disease. ⺠We review conservation strategies applied to this new plant health issue. ⺠A breeding program for resistance or tolerance to the disease is needed. ⺠Dead and dying ash trees should be left in the forest. ⺠Interdisciplinary collaboration is required to tackle this conservation challenge.
