What are rangelands? Rangelands cover nearly half of Earth’s land. These grasslands, savannas and tundra nourish livestock, support wildlife and store carbon. They are the foundation of life and resilience. #Rangelands #IYRP2026

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

The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 begins!

Let us honor the people and landscapes that nourish biodiversity, culture and food security across our planet. #IYRP2026, #Rangelands, #Pastoralists, #biodiversity, #culture, #foodsecurity

Rangelands cover nearly half of Earth's land and support over a billion people. As the UN marks 2026 as the International Year of #Rangelands and #Pastoralists, explore vital research about these ecosystems. Free to read through Feb 15. bio-one.co/4jRcJCQ

2026 is the year of Rangelands and Pastoralists!
