The Livestock Conservancy
The Livestock Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered livestock and poultry breeds in the United States. Founded in 1977, it focuses on protecting genetic diversity and promoting sustainable farming practices. The organization works with farmers, ranchers, and the public to raise awareness about the importance of heritage breeds.
Through educational programs, conservation efforts, and breed registries, The Livestock Conservancy aims to ensure the survival of various breeds, such as American Guinea Hog and Navajo-Churro Sheep. By supporting these breeds, the organization helps maintain agricultural biodiversity and promotes traditional farming methods.
