    (Rural Sociological Association of Nigeria (RuSAN), 2011) Farinde, A.J.; O. T. Alao; Yusuf, O.J
    Sometimes, we often hear people saying in "those days" we used to have, eat and use some crops and or livestock for food, aesthetic values, herbal or medicinal purposes, decorations, games, housing and environmental protection. The "those days" refers to the yester years - decade and century as time interval when the crops and livestock are found around in large quantities. Some of them are mostly underutilized, neglected and even destroyed due to destruction of their natural habitats. The underutilized and the neglected ones were left uncatered for, for long time, hence found in small quantities in isolated places. This makes people to often remark that some crops and livestock species are uncommon. The uncommon crops and livestock species are referred to as being "endangered". The endangered crops and livestock afterwards disappeared from the environment, and are regarded as being lost or gone into extinction.
