Metadata Sub-indicator 2.5.2.2. Proportion of transboundary breeds classified as being at risk of extinction
Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed
Indicator 2.5.2. Proportion of local and transboundary breeds classified as being at risk of extinction
Sub-indicator 2.5.2.2. Proportion of transboundary breeds classified as being at risk of extinction
Proportion of transboundary breeds classified as being at risk of extinction
Based on the number of transboundary breeds existing in our country (according to the FAO definition, a transboundary breed is one that is reported by more than one country) for which population data has been provided, the percentage of these breeds that are at risk of extinction is determined. The calculation of breeds at risk of extinction is carried out on the FAO’s DAD-IS website and in accordance with the Guidelines for the In Vivo Conservation of Animal Genetic Resources (FAO, 2013). The data are supplied to DAD-IS by the National Breed Information System, ARCA. In turn, ARCA collects, on an annual basis, population data from all authorised pure-bred breeders’ associations in accordance with the EU Animal Breeding Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of 8 June) and Royal Decree 45/2019 of 8 February.
