Sažetak
One of the endangered local breeds in Croatia is the Istrian donkey, which originates from the County of Istria. The Istrian donkey is one of the three local donkey breeds in Croatia, along with the Dinaric littoral donkey and the North Adriatic donkey. In 2021, there were 863 animals of Istrian donkeys in Croatia, most of them in Istria County, which represents 18% of the total number of animals of autochthonous donkey breeds. Successful conservation of the endangered Istrian donkey requires the support of local citizens/consumers. In this preliminary study we investigated the willingness of young people in Croatia to participate in the conservation of the Istrian donkey. The aim of the study was to find out whether the information about the endangered status of the Istrian donkey, as well as the information about possible ways of citizens' engagement in the conservation of the donkey, had an impact on the willingness of respondents to participate in these conservation activities.
