Beginning of Farm Animal Genetic Resource (AnGR) conservation in Slovenia started with document Spomenica established in 1920, regulating protection of Carnolian bee. The regulation about protection of natural and cultural heritage is prescribed with Slovenian constitution and was conformed with Convention on Biological Diversity, which was ratified by Slovenian parliament in 1996. Farm animal genetic resources are not mentioned in environmental legislation as well as in the natural conservation regulation. Basic legislation for AnGR is prescribed first in the Agriculture law and than more detailed in the Animal breeding law. Slovenia takes responsibility for conservation of genetic variability within farm animal genetic resources. Indigenous breeds of farm animals are enjoying specific protection, especially Carnolian bee. Other government documents such as Slovenian Agri-Environment Programme and Strategy for Conservation of Biological variability in Slovenia clearly states concern for AnGR conservation as well. Regulation about biodiversity in animal husbandry is in preliminary phase. All above mentioned legislation is harmonized with EU legislation.#2
