Comeback of endangered domestic farm animals

Worldwide, one breed of domestic farm animal dies out every month – a consequence of intensive farming. In Switzerland only a fifth of the known indigenous species still exist today. Since 1982 Pro Specie Rara – the Swiss association for the protection of rare breeds – has been fighting to keep these animals alive. (Michele Andina, swissinfo.ch)
