Who are pastoralists?
They are the stewards of our rangelands from the Sahel to the steppes and the Andes to the Arctic. More than half a billion people care for animals and ecosystems that sustain global life. #IYRP2026, #GlobalAlliance4RangelandsandPastoralists, #rangelands, #pastoralists

Africa’s drylands need the right kind of support – listening to the pastoralists who live there Africa’s drylands need support, but it shouldn’t overlook systems that people rely on.

"Building resilience in drylands is not a technical fix. It requires flexibility, listening, and partnership over control and prescription." 🎯
