Book (stand-alone)Secondary Guidelines for Development of National Farm Animal Genetic Resources Management Plans - Management of small populations at risk 1998In recognition of the importance of animal genetic resources (AnGR), and of the sizeable portion that is currently at risk of loss, and in keeping with FAO’s mandate and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) a special action programme for the Global Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources was launched by FAO in 1992. One of the objectives of this Programme is the development of Guidelines for country use. The Primary Guideline Document (FAO, 1996), mainly targeted towards policy ma kers, is designed to help countries get started to identify the main elements and objectives of an animal genetic resources management plan, and to outline the strategic policy directions required to fulfil these objectives. The Primary document is complemented and supported by four secondary documents targeted mainly at those that implement policy, administratively and technically, covering the following issues: characterization, livestock production systems description, active breed use and de velopment, and managing populations at risk to provide guidance for the management of areas identified in the primary document. These Guidelines looks at the specific aspects, options and techniques for the management of populations at risk.

MeetingAre Indian Ocean tuna populations assessed and managed at the appropriate spatial scale? Brief review of the evidence and implications 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Tu species maged under the auspices of the Indian Ocean Tu Commission have generally been assumed (explicitly or implicitly) to be highly mobile and consist of a single panmictic spawning population for the purposes of stock assessment and magement. In this paper, we: i) briefly review evidence that questions this assumption (largely based on recent population genetics and tagging studies), ii) qualitatively discuss the implications of violating this assumption, and iii) outline some elements of a collaborative research plan to resolve these issues and mitigate the consequences of getting this assumption wrong. This paper is intended to stimulate discussion within the IOTC scientific community about the potential importance of population structure within the Indian Ocean and extent to which it should be considered a research and magement priority. -
DocumentFinal Evaluation of the Institutional Level Component of the Project “Support for Livestock-based Livelihoods of Vulnerable Populations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" - Management Response
Project Evaluation - Management Response - OSRO/GAZ/201/EC
2018Also available in:
No results found.Palestinians in the WBGS face a protracted crisis; durable and sustainable solutions are needed to protect and promote their livelihoods beyond short-term responses. In an effort to link relief, rehabilitation and development, this project represents the institutional component of a larger programme funded by the European Union to provide “Support for Livestock-based Livelihoods of Vulnerable Populations in the Occupied Territories”. Under this project, FAO successfully led the coordination of all developmental activities to enhance public capacities of the Ministry of Agriculture in the livestock sector by putting new systems and processes in place. In order to ensure sustainability of the project’s results, the evaluation recommends that the Palestinian Authority enact policies to make livestock product supply meet demand, that greater awareness of the importance of tagging animals is built among herders and that an assessment be conducted of the international livestock market.
