Trauffer Capra Grigia

ProSpecieRara compares the gray of the Capra Grigia with that of broken Calanca granite. This old and traditional goat breed originates from the Calanca region and other Alpine valleys in Ticino. It features particularly strong horns and, with its hard hooves and good musculature, is a typical mountain goat.

In the past, almost every region of Switzerland had its own farm animal breeds. Many of these breeds became extinct around and after the World Wars. Among the animal breeds that have survived, several are still endangered today. Since 1982, they have been supported by the ProSpecieRara Foundation along with many dedicated animal keepers. The traditional company Trauffer Wooden Toys has collaborated with ProSpecieRara to create a meticulously hand-carved collection dedicated to these endangered animals, aimed at raising awareness of the rare breeds. Additionally, 50 cents from the proceeds of each wooden animal goes to ProSpecieRara projects for endangered animals.
