European Livestock Breeds Ark and Rescue Net (ELBARN):

ELBARN is a network of farms, centres, parks, open air museums as well as people and organisations that work towards on farm/in situ conservation of European rare and indigenous livestock breeds. It was launched as a three year, NGO lead, concerted action, co-funded by the European Commission. The project began in 2007. The aim of the first, three year phase was to network actors and to locate potential Ark and Rescue Centres throughout Europe. Additionally, work groups were formed to address specific subjects, such as disease legislation or marketing opportunities. A series of workshops, a questionnaire and numerous fact-finding activities have provided the basis of the project.

  • ELBARN Guidelines: a set of guidelines that can be used by Ark and Rescue Centres. The guidelines cover the subjects of Rescue and Disease, Ark and Rescue Centres, Conservation Breeding and Marketing of Products and Services.
  • Area Action Plans: for four areas of Europe, Action Plans set out the needs and requirements to carry the ELBARN project into the future.
  • ELBARN Book: a comprehensive booklet that explains what agrobiodiversity is and why it is endangered. It is complete with many examples, case studies, pictures, maps and contact points.

The publications and more information can be found on the ELBRN website.
The publications can be ordered as printed versions for the cost of the postage and packaging, please contact SAVE Foundation to organise delivery.
