OUR MISSION
“To protect endangered livestock and poultry breeds from extinction”
Why save them?
Many of America’s once-common farm animals face extinction if we do not take action now. Rare farm animals represent an irreplaceable piece of earth’s biodiversity and offer incredible variety that may be needed for future farms – robust health, mothering instincts, foraging, and the ability to thrive in a changing climate. These farm animals are a vital part of ensuring food security for our planet – now and for the future.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one domesticated livestock breed is lost every month.
