Resumen
Descripción
The Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS) is the key communication and information tool for implementing the Global Strategy for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR). It is being developed first to assist countries and country networks, and also serves as the virtual structure for the Strategy. It will increasingly provide extensive searchable databases, tools, guidelines, refernces, links and contacts. DAD-IS is physically based at FAO, Rome, Italy, but acces sible from any country in the world via the Internet. The development of DAD-IS saves countries the cost of developing and maintaining such a system individually. Yet it virtually is an individual system, because the build-in security offers countries full control over the information they store, release and maintain with the system. DAD-IS objectives are to: - involve, co-ordinate and assist Governments, NGO's, training and research groups in all countries and international agencies operati ng within and across world regions; and - help achieve better management of all AnGR used for the production of food and agriculture in all countries, in accordance with the World Food Summit Plan of Action and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
