Questions
• Objectives of Cryoconservation
  – Insurance to recreate/revive a breed or breeding
    line in danger of extinction > 80%
• Which Breed for Cryoconservation?
  – High degree of endangerment
  – Special traits and characteristics of value
  – Genetic distinctiveness

Questions
• Who shall prioritize and decide
  – Clear prioridsation of a multi actor board
• Impact of croyoconservan on in‐situ
  conservation
  – Conservation of within breed genetic diversity
  – Revitalizing blood lines
  – Collaboration of conservation breeders and
    research

Questions
• Who schould pay?
  – Clearly the national governments
  – EU is not seen as a relevant payer
  – Private breeding organisations should pay for
    services
• Innovations in biobanking – new technologies
  – Science acceptes more invasive technologies than
    MNGOs and breeding org.
  – In Gerneral the acceptance except cloning is
    bigger than expected
• Final Results will be published in 2020

Dos and Don’ts of all
          SAVE Network Partners
Dos
• Communication
• Keep the community informed about your activities:
      • Send reports of your activities for the quarterly eNews
• Use of social media: Strengthen the community and
  the coverage of the messages through
      • Likes and interaction. Give your messages to the SAVE offices to
        share them, if you do not
      • publish it through your own account.
      • The SAVE PO And NO are ready to share any questions, findings,
        news.
      • Participate with your ideas, conflicts and questions at the annual
        meetings

• Alarming
• if you get information relevant to the European
  stakeholders, tell it. This is also relevant for
• regional cross‐border incidents and actions.
• Media/Public Communication
• In statements, releases and/or declarations on
  current events related to agrobiodiversity at
• transnational or EU level, the SAVE Network agrees
  on a common formulation or an identical
• wording, in particular for the media.

• Cross Border Project Implementation
  – If you act cross‐border inform your SAVE partner across
    the border about what you plan to do to
  – avoid misunderstandings and strengthen a collegial
    cooperation.
• Fundraising
  – The SAVE PO and NO inform all partners about relevant
    fundraising opportunities as soon as the
  – offices get information. The Network partners inform the
    SAVE offices and/or partners about any
  – fundraising opportunities relevant for the network.

Donts
• Promotion and Protection of a Breed/Variety
   – If you create a label to promote a breed/variety be careful:
     You can make a protection on products, but not on the
     breed itself. The latter leads to a ban of use of the breed
     outside the label.
   – community what is diametrically opposed to the SAVE
     network principle of dissemination of breeds and varieties.
• Fundraising
   – Avoid concurrence with the network partners through
     fundraising in the region of activity of the SAVE partner
     without information and/or inclusion of the network
     partner.

Thank you very much for your
             collaboration
