Carpathians:
What do we know already?
• A workshop was held in in Romania in 1999
• Roundtable and small groups discussions developed a list of cultivated plants and livestock breeds that are endangered and should be conserved as a priority for action.

action.
• Participants stressed the importance of common action to conserve endangered agrobiodiversity in the Carpathians.
• Search tours have taken place.
• There are still many gaps in knowledge.
