Rare Breeds Survival Trust Rare Breeds Survival Trust The Rare Breeds Survival Trust is a conservation charity whose purpose is to secure the continued existence and viability of the native farm animal genetic resources (FAnGR) of the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1973 by Joe Henson to preserve native breeds; since then, no UK-native breed has become extinct. It maintains a watch list of rare native breeds of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, goats and poultry, and an approved list of farm parks. Projects have included the collection of genetic material to ensure the future of rare breeds in a farm animal "gene bank".
Animal genetic resources for food and agriculture knowledge, as internationally agreed."" Which is monitored by the following indicators: "2.5.1: Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium or long term conservation facilities. 2.5.2: Proportion of local breeds, classified as being at risk, not at risk or unknown level of risk of extinction." Although policies can have some negative consequences, they are nonetheless important. Lack of adequate policies can lead to the insufficient capacity to manage AnGRs, further a loss of genetic diversity and marginalization of relevant stakeholders, such as pastoralists, who are valuable players in maintaining livestock diversity.
