Summary

The conditions affecting agriculture in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are being fundamentally changed by the transformation of the economy in that region. Rare breeds of domesticated animals and varieties of cultivated plants are in danger of rapidly disappearing. The article describes the situation in several countries; it also presents the plan of action of the Swiss foundation, PRO SPECIE RARA, to preserve the endangered genetic and cultural heritage in situ.

Resume

Suite à la réorganisation de l'économie dans les pays de l'Europe Centrale et Orientale, les conditions pour l'agriculture se trouvent, elles aussi, en plein bouleversement. D'anciennes rares races de bétail menacent de disparâltre à très court terme, tout comme des plantes végétales uniques. Larticle ci-dessous présente la situation dans certains pays et décrit le plan d'action de la Fondation Suisse PRO SPECIE RARA, dont le but est de sauvegarder in-situ l'héritage génétique et culturel en péril.
