RABBIT SCIENCE ASSOCIATION (WRSA) | |
| The
WRSA is an international association created in Paris in 1976 on the initiative
of its first president François Lebas. It federates local associations
(national or for a group of nations) named branches. It's main objectives
are : |
- to
facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among persons in all parts
of the World who are contributing to the advancement of various branches of the
rabbit industry.
- to promote
the extension of knowledge by encouragement of teaching, scientific research,
practical experimentation, the collection and publication of statistics and documents
in relation with rabbit production.
- to
promote World Rabbit Congresses alone or in cooperation with other international
bodies.
- to cooperate with FAO
and any other World Bodies interested in rabbit meat, pelt or fur production.
Plenary sessions of the WRSA Council (1 to 3
representatives per branch) are held every 4 years, during the World Rabbit
Congress
The
present 2 main activities of the WRSA are :
- the organisation of a World Rabbit Congress
every 4 years. (the
next would be held in Spain in October 2024)
- to
promote the "World Rabbit Science"
journal as the official journal of the association (international peer-reviewed
journal with publication of research articles and scientific synthesis)
In addition, the branches have their own activities,
such as scientific meetings, and the organisation or publication of technical
journals on rabbit production and/or managment of rabbit web sites.
