WORK PACKAGES
The
Work Plan consists of six Work Packages. WPs 1 to 5 concern
activities to achieve scientific and technical objectives, while WP6
concerns management of the consortium activities.
The 5
WPs will serve to meet the objectives of HERITAGESHEEP and will be
co-ordinated to ensure resources are utilised in a cost-effective
and efficient way. The aim of this project is to assess for the
first time the HSBs across the Community, define the justification
for preservation of the breeds, identify best practice procedures
for in situ and ex situ conservation of their genetic
resources and significantly, undertake the first steps to
genebanking prioritised breeds in each partner country. The work
plan will complement knowledge and activities already existing in
Member States, build on and contribute to complementary
international actions and lead to the development of pan-European
understanding and procedures to safeguard the genetic resources of
HSBs into the future for the benefit of local communities, their
economies and environments.
