The growth of livestock production and consumption of animal products is in creasing during the last decades, worldwide. Upon the FAO data (2004), global meat consumption increased by over 30%, primarily due to increased consump tion. At the same time urban population is growing, while rural settlements are undergoing depopulation trends. Conventional intensive livestock production is intensified through specialized industrial breeding of certain highly produc tive breeds in controlled conditions, in aim to obtain large production and to increase profit. At the same time domestic animals unsuitable for intensive pro duction are becoming rare and many breeds and types became endangered and extinct. Unfortunately, intensive agriculture became the most important fac tor that led to the loss of biodiversity, increase of environmental pollution and loss of biodiversity. Due to the pronounced negative effect of intensive animal production on the environment, the Paris Climate Agreement (2015), described methods that could mitigate climate change. The possibilities to preserve animal resources through utilization and to allow sustainable development of rural communities in Serbia in aim to preserve en vironment, agrobiodiversity, animal genetic resources and to create opportuni ty for rural and ecotourism in Serbia are presented in the paper.
