Managing populations at risk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Abstract
The procedures outlined by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) guidelines for managing small populations at risk are reviewed. These cover identification of breeds at risk, prioritising and deciding upon actions, managing in vivo populations at risk, and managing gene banks of cryoconserved material.
