dc.descriptionThis report from the FAO/UNEP Technical Consultation, held in Rome from June 2-6, 1980, addresses the critical issue of conserving and managing animal genetic resources. It captures a pivotal moment when scientific advancements in animal breeding, which had led to high-performance breeds in industrialized nations, were causing a decline in local livestock diversity. The consultation recognized the immense value of indigenous breeds, which are well-adapted to harsh environmental conditions like droughts, coarse feed, and diseases. The document outlines a series of recommendations for FAO and UNEP, emphasizing the need for a coordinated international effort. Key proposals include establishing data banks, creating regional gene banks for long-term storage of genetic material, promoting training programs, and supporting research into the unique adaptive traits of local animal populations to ensure their survival and improvement for future agricultural needs.en
