About SAVE|Danmark
SAVE|Danmark focuses on enlightenment, creating a movement and rescuing of original livestock breeds, cultural plants, places, traditional crafts, thoughts and interactions between people, livestock and landscapes – a way of life that can help create and inspire a future Denmark.
Why is it important to save the original livestock breeds and cultural plants?
Original plant varieties and livestock breeds are important to preserve for our future. It’s our insurance.
A living bank of genes with native plants and livestock helps to:
- ensure our living cultural heritage
- ensure genetic diversity within cultivated plants and livestock breeds
- ensure the agricultural biodiversity
- ensure food production and security of supply in the future
It gives us a future with a richer life with variety, tastes, sounds, smells, quality and with coherence, slowness, accessibility and presence.
Right now Denmark does not live up to its international obligations in relation to the preservation of original livestock breeds. The state is obligated to ensure a preservation of minimum 1000 individual animals within the various breeds. International organizations and Danish researchers have for many years pointed out that there are now so few animals left that several breeds are difficult to save.
