In Europe & Caucasus, many breeds aren’t being conserved

Threats to AnGR
• Globalization, intensification and mechanisation
• Changing cultural practices, erosion of customary institutions and social relations
• Population pressure, loss of access to resources, overgrazing, resource degradation

The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources
![Page 9: The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources · 2017-05-29 · Milestones for animal genetic resources 1983 Establishment of the Commission on Plant Genetic Resources for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060305/5f0942127e708231d425f72f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Aims of the Global Plan of Action
– support and increase the overall effectiveness of national, regional and global efforts for the sustainable use, development and conservation of animal genetic resources,
– contribute to the development of a comprehensive framework for the management of agricultural biodiversity
– facilitate international cooperation and the mobilization of resources
![Page 10: The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources · 2017-05-29 · Milestones for animal genetic resources 1983 Establishment of the Commission on Plant Genetic Resources for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060305/5f0942127e708231d425f72f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
23 Strategic Priorities for Action aimed at addressing current and future challenges to the livestock sector, including:
• global food insecurity and poverty
• population increase and changes in consumer demands
• environmental changes, including climate change
• existing and emerging diseases
The Global Plan of Action contains

Implementation and Financing of the GPA
• Main responsibility rests with national governments• Need for international cooperation and support to
developing countries – mobilization of new and additional resources
• International organisations to provide support• Need to involve all relevant stakeholders• CGRFA to oversee and evaluate progress, within
context of its MYPoW

Interlaken Declaration
Through the Interlaken Declaration countries have committed themselves to:
• Implementing the Global Plan of Action in accordance with national priorities and capacities
• Facilitating access to AnGR and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use
![Page 15: The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources · 2017-05-29 · Milestones for animal genetic resources 1983 Establishment of the Commission on Plant Genetic Resources for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060305/5f0942127e708231d425f72f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Next steps and outstanding issues
• Development of national measures and mainstreaming – institutional responsibilities and development of NAP’s
• Development of a Funding Strategy for CGRFA #12 • Review of international policies and coordination
with other forums: ABS for GRFA – CGRFA #12 / study on animal health measures
• Roles of small scale livestock keepers – report to the 2009 FAO Conference
• Global back-up

Next steps and outstanding issues
• Facilitate regional and international collaboration (RFPs)
• Technical guidelines / tools and technical / policy support
• Monitoring of AnGR – format and criteria for breeds at risk (DAD-IS) - Early-warning and response
• Training and research• Development of partnerships

The state of capacities
In most developing countries there is a lack of:• capacities and basic institutions for
characterisation, inventory & monitoring, breeding & conservation
• development policies & legal structures
• structures for national, regional & international cooperation
• interest in NARS and national Non-Governmental Organisations
• interest in international donor community
