The State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
Hi there! Do you like animals? Well, there are some animals that are really important for us because they give us food! We call these animals "livestock".
Now, imagine if all the cows, goats, pigs, and chickens in the world suddenly disappeared. That would be a big problem because we would have less food to eat! That's why it's really important to take care of these animals and make sure their genetic resources (which means their genes or DNA) are preserved.
But, some animal breeds (which means types of animals) are becoming rare or extinct (which means they are disappearing forever). This is because people are not taking care of them or using them for food anymore.
That's why scientists and farmers are working together to help protect these animals and their genetic resources. They are trying to make sure that these breeds don't disappear forever so that we can still have enough food to eat in the future.
So, the state of the world's animal genetic resources for food and agriculture is that some animals are becoming rare or extinct which could cause problems for us in the future. But, people are working hard to protect these animals and make sure we have enough food to eat.
