The recent economic world crisis was a product based on the idea that globalized “free” economy market, is the only and ideal law for the development and well- being. In the whole world, countries had to change what it was common practice till today i.e. the tradition and the local economy rules according to the global mandates, namely ‘globalization’. In the same time, people are becoming more and more aware of the lost values, lost products, healthy-life, the changes of the environment, and turn to scientists and politicians for sustainable solutions. Livestock can make a positive contribution to the landscape and environmental management in this new world of globalization. Moreover, the local breeds are one of the main tools that hold people in rural areas and mountains, help the agro-tourism and are connected to the tradition and culture of each area. This paper aims to present the role that local breeds could play to the regional development of the countries, including social, environmental and economical sustainability issues. The cases of Greek and Romanian local sheep and goats breeds are used as examples.
