American Livestock Breeds Conservancy

The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving endangered livestock and poultry breeds in the United States. Founded in 1977, ALBC works to protect genetic diversity by raising awareness about rare breeds, providing resources to farmers, and promoting sustainable farming practices. By supporting these unique breeds, which are often better adapted to local environments and resistant to diseases, ALBC aims to ensure a stable and diverse food system. Their efforts help maintain traditional agricultural practices and contribute to biodiversity in livestock.
