Smallholder farmers and pastoralists fulfill an invaluable yet
undervalued role in conserving biodiversity. They act as guardians
of locally adapted livestock breeds that can make use of even
marginal environments under tough climatic conditions and therefore
are a crucial resource for food security. But in addition, by
sustaining animals on natural vegetation and as part of local
ecosystems, these communities also make a significant contribution
to the conservation of wild biodiversity and of cultural
landscapes. This publication provides a glimpse into the often
intricate knowledge systems that pastoralists and smallholder
farmers have developed for the management of their breeds in
specific production systems and it also describes the multitude of
threats and challenges these often marginalized communities have to
cope with.
