10. LESSONS LEARNT from CASE STUDIES ON ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES The FAO informally requested preparation of several case studies to assist in identifying the requirements for establishing sustainable livestock development programmes. A brief description of each case study and lessons learnt from it is presented in this information document.

11. EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES I. Myth - Crossbreeding and replacement of locally adapted breeds will produce sustained benefits:  Vechur small cattle in India  Goat development programme in Ethiopia  Pantaneiro horse in Brazil.

12. EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES II. Myth - All production environments are alike  Nguni cattle in South Africa,  Box Keken pig in southeast Mexico  Norwegian Diary Cattle improvement programme

13. EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES III. Myth - Animal Genetic Resources conservation initiatives are always costly public sector programmes  Breton Black Pied in France  Cost effective conservation programmes in Brazil  Hungarian Grey cattle in Hungary  White Park cattle in Great Britain.  Basotho Pony in Lesotho,  Vietnamese Programme on Conservation of the AnGR

14. EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES IV. Community Based Management – and – Animal Genetic Resources  East African Goat and Galla Goat in Akamba community, Kathekani, Kenya  Different species and strains of poultry (chickens, pigeons and ducks) in Malawi rural communities  Djallonké sheep in Côte d’Ivoire  Farmers community involvement in management of the Biebrza National Park

15. A WAY FORWARD FIRST STEP Presentation of Info SoW-AnGR paper during SBSTTA 7 drawing attention to AnGR and First Report GOAL: Recommendation from the COP6 to the CBD to GEF requesting financial support for CRs preparation, First SoW-AnGR Report and Follow-up Actions
