The Sardinian donkey, Italian: 'Asino sardo' , Sardinian: Molente/Molenti is a breed of donkey from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, west of Italy.[3] It is raised throughout the island; there are also some small populations in mainland Italy.[4] It is one of the eight autochthonous donkey breeds of limited distribution recognised by the Ministero delle Politiche Agricole Alimentari e Forestali, the Italian ministry of agriculture and forestry.[5] The conservation status of the Sardinian donkey was listed as "endangered" by the FAO in 2007.[1]
