Rangelands cover nearly half the world's land, supporting unique biodiversity and pastoral traditions. Pastoralists raise animals, contribute to food security, and preserve ecosystems globally through their diverse cultural heritage and traditional knowledge.

The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026) calls for policies ensuring pastoralists' access to land and resources, supporting their mobility, and promoting inclusive governance. It encourages investments in rangeland management, ecosystem restoration, animal health, and sustainable value chains. This year is a unique opportunity to highlight their significance and the importance of responsible investments and tailored policies.
