Proportion of local breeds classified as being at risk of extinction in Europe
Conserving genetic diversity of livestock is essential for the resilience of agricultural ecosystems and biodiversity. Local livestock breeds, well-adapted to local conditions, contribute to food security and preserve genetic diversity for the future. In 2024, over 80% of local breeds with known status were at risk of extinction in the European Union. Only seven countries report more than 25% of local breeds with known status as not at risk in Europe. The status of many breeds is still unknown. This highlights the pressing need for targeted policy actions, increased monitoring, research and awareness raising.
