Abstract
The Chillingham herd of white cattle is briefly described, and the recent endeavours by the owners, the Chillingham Wild Cattle Association, to secure its future are reviewed. With generous support from individual donors and from charitable trusts, biosecurity is being enhanced and access for members of the public improved. As a result, the Association is now concerned with much broader issues than those which have faced it in the past, and which mainly related to practical issues of husbandry and pasture management. As conservation measures are now being directed towards the cultural heritage and general faunal and floral biodiversity of Chillingham as well as towards the cattle themselves, the Chillingham experience may well provide a model for other conservation ventures relating to historic pastoral landscapes.
