- The Global Program for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resource Salah Galal Kleith Hammond Agrociencias At present there are 3.972 breeds for z8 domestic species according to FAO's Global Databank estimatives which are contributing significantly to the material, social and cultural welfare of the human population. It is estimated that 3oo/o of these breeds are either at risk or endangered of becoming extinct. Maintaining diversity among and within species is crucial for the present and future develoPment of sustainable animal production systems. The general framework of reference for the FAO Global Program for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAO Program for short) is the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) endorsed by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Developm ent (Unced) held in Rio De Janeiro in ry9zand recommendations made by various FAO intergovernmental and other forums. The FAO Program is aimed at assisting countries to survey and document their breeds of livestock, better utilize these breeds, maintain them for possible future use and access those unique genetic resources. The FAO Program comprises four components: a country driven global structure, an intergovernmental mechanism to effectively monitor progress and develop international polic¡ a technical program of work, and cadres of experts to help guide the Program development. FAO's role is that of leading, facilitating and globally coordinating and reporting. The Program physical structure is composed of National Focal points in countries, Regional Focal Points in the main world regions and sub- regions and a Global Focus at FAO, Rome. The virtual structure ofthe Program is that of the Domestic Animal DiversitY Information System (DAD-IS), available now on the Internent. At present the structure has been completed for Europe, started with rz countries in Asia, in the process of formation in the Americas and initiation will start in ry97 in the Near East. 1997 artículo científico 0122-8706 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=449953019002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4499 Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria application/pdf Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.2
