 Lifestock breads or populations vary according to the areas, regions of the world. Afrika is so special in that it presents a variety of ecologies and therefore the populations of livestock that have thrived for years, for millennia are those that are adapted to those specific conditions. These conditions are changing. Breads are disappearing because of pressure for commercialization. Farmers want to make money. They have to pay oslo bills, they have to pay fees. They have to compete for the market with the rest of the world. Figures are in the tunes of thousands have disappeared already. Some are disappearing as we speak. Different breeds react to different environmental conditions differently. What is desirable in one production system may not necessarily be desirable in a different production system. And that is why we are saying as production system change and with the drivers that are unpredictable as such as climate change we need to be careful to sample enough populations of animals or cattle, sheep and goats, chicken which are already well adapted to those conditions. Not enough is known about the indigenous breeds particularly in Africa and nobody is paying much attention to their conservation because one who pays that price. The farmers out there are competing with other farmers for similar market. It means that our dilemma is we have to find out what is good separating the chaff from the seed. That's a huge task. We have to work with the farmers as we do that and the pressure is on. Again, global agreements are such that those conservations should be the remit of the countries. And yet countries are busy dealing with huge food security issues. Diseases, poverty. Where do they put their money? Do they put their money to conserve breeds that they don't know fully the attributes of, where there are alternatives where people have worked on. So this is where there is need for real synergies, combined effort, informed decision. Science has to inform which animals, which breeds, which populations will be put in there. But we are not advocating for stamp collection. The best way for conserving a breed or a population is making it relevant and competitive. We have to unearth what is the specific attribute Make sure that attribute is enhanced, then that breed will stay on because if it is useful, if it is productive, there are no threats.
