abstract = {Rapidly declining biodiversity has made international and national policies focus on the
question of how best to protect genetic resources. Loss of biodiversity does not only concern
wildlife, but equally affects agriculturally used species. These species, of foremost importance
for the subsistence of humankind, are subject to pressures sometimes similar and sometimes
very distinct from those of their wild counterparts. And so are the losses implied by this
decline in diversity.
This handbook was conceived within the project Sustainable conservation of animal genetic
resources in marginal rural areas: Integrating molecular genetics, socio-economics and
geostatistical approaches (ECONOGENE \textendash{} EC-QLK5-CT-2001-02461) to review and design
methods that can serve as a basis to guide conservation policies for livestock breeds at risk of
extinction. It is part of the broader effort of a multidisciplinary research team assessing the
diversity of European sheep and goat breeds. The final goal of the project is to assess the
impact of current and future policies on these breeds.},
