The United Nations has declared 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026)<\/strong>, highlighting the importance of rangelands and the pastoral communities that manage them sustainably. Rangelands cover a large portion of the Earth\u2019s land surface and support unique biodiversity, resilient ecosystems and food production systems.<\/p>\n

Pastoralists play a critical role in food security, climate resilience and ecosystem management<\/strong>, applying traditional and local knowledge that sustains healthy landscapes and contributes to diversified, sustainable agri-food systems.<\/p>\n

    Sustainable rangeland management and the ecosystem services it provides.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Empowering pastoral communities<\/strong>, valuing their knowledge and role in environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Supporting practices that enhance animal health, food security and sustainable production outcomes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Promoting public policies and responsible investment<\/strong> in livestock systems and land management.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This global initiative also fosters dialogue among producer organisations, public institutions, scientific community and civil society<\/strong>, with the aim of advancing livestock systems that are economically viable, socially equitable and environmentally sound<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
