Global Alliance for Rangelands & Pastoralists 

Join the Global Alliance for Rangelands & Pastoralists (GA4RP) as we celebrate and support rangelands and pastoralists in the 2026 International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP)!

The economic, environmental and social importance of rangelands, and of pastoralists as their custodians, need to be fully recognized, rewarded, safeguarded and protected worldwide.

IYRP 2026 aims to raise awareness of the vital importance of rangelands and pastoralists as their frontline custodians. We recognize the indispensable benefits rangelands provide for supporting the livelihoods and socio-ecological resilience of hundreds of millions of people, conserving bio-cultural diversity, restoring degraded lands, fostering sustainable food systems, and advancing climate action.
