For each breed, information is provided on their origin, location within the country, number of breeding females and risk status, along with short descriptions of the breeds and the conservation and breeding activities that are being implemented. Each breed description is illustrated with a colour photograph. The aim is to raise the awareness of the public about the importance of the livestock diversity of Greece.
