Animal husbandry saves species
Citizen Conservation – working together against species extinction. People from animal husbandry, science and civil society save endangered species through conservation breeding.
Have joy, find fulfillment, sow hope – good reasons to do what makes sense
The extinction of species is one of the most visible symptoms of the threatening development on earth. The positive news is that everyone can make a tangible contribution to stopping the disaster. Citizen Conservation brings together people who want to do something. As a coordinated conservation breeding program, Citizen Conservation turns citizens into conservationists, guides, inspires, creates knowledge and saves species from extinction.
