Biogenetic Reserves aim to conserve European flora, fauna and natural areas especially heathlands and dry grasslands that although common in one country, may be scarce in another. In this way a store of genetic material - the genes of plants and animals - is kept for the future, hence the term Biogenetic. To qualify for this designation, sites in the UK must first be Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or otherwise designated. The Bern Convention - signed by the UK government in 1982, led to the establishment of this European network of Biogenetic Reserves.

Mae hon yn set ddata ofodol o ffiniau'r Gwarchodfeydd Biogenetig yng Nghymru. Nod Gwarchodfeydd Biogenetig yw gwarchod fflora, ffawna ac ardaloedd naturiol Ewropeaidd, yn enwedig rhostiroedd a glaswelltiroedd sych, sy'n gyffredin mewn un wlad efallai ond yn brin mewn un arall. Fel hyn mae storfa o ddeunydd genetig - genynnau planhigion ac anifeiliaid - yn cael ei chadw ar gyfer y dyfodol, sef ystyr y term Biogenetig. I fod yn gymwys ar gyfer y dynodiad hwn, rhaid i safleoedd yn y DU fod wedi'u dynodi'n SoDdGA neu ddynodiad arall yn gyntaf. Arweiniodd Confensiwn Bern a lofnodwyd gan lywodraeth y DU ym 1982 at sefydlur rhwydwaith Ewropeaidd hwn o Warchodfeydd Biogenetig.
