Arca-Net
What is Arca-Net?
Arca-Net is a network of institutions that keep endangered livestock breeds
or rare cultivated plants, making them known to the public. Arca-Net is designed
for a broader public and, in form of a virtual guide, at any time available
via Internet. Descriptions of the institutions, directions on getting there,
offers and information on the livestock breeds kept and plants cultivated, their
distribution, status of endangering and their history are available from Arca-Net.
Some Information about products that can be purchased in the respective institutions
is now also included.
How Arca-Net was developed?
Arca-Net developed as a product of data collected within the frame of a survey
on rescue- and conservation stations for rare and endangered livestock breeds.
In a second phase, Arca-Net was extended on rare cultivated plants. As interactive
Internet-guide, it is available to a broader public. In Arch-farms, open-air
museums, livestock parks, arboreta and variety gardens, diversity can be experienced.
