International Heritage Breeds Week 2018

The International Heritage Breeds Week aims to raise global awareness about endangered heritage breeds of livestock and poultry. Many of our traditional livestock breeds have been replaced with more "improved" breeds in modern animal agriculture, at the expense of a massive loss in genetic diversity. Worldwide, about one domesticated livestock breed every month is lost to extinction.
Since 2016 The Livestock Conservancy partnered with a consortium of livestock conservation organizations from around the world to host International Heritage Breeds Week and Day. The fourth annual International Heritage Breeds Week will be held 20-26 May, 2018.
