Over one third of North America’s livestock and poultry breeds are rare or in decline. These breeds represent genetic diversity which may one day be needed to overcome future problems and ensure food security. Once numbering at approximately 20,000, our goal is to protect these now critically endangered goats.

There are approximately 1,700 San Clemente Island Goats in 27 states and 3 provinces. They are listed as critically endangered on the Livestock Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List.
