2026 IS THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE RANGELANDS AND PASTORALISTS
The United Nations (UN) has named 2026 the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, highlighting the vital role that thriving rangelands play in fostering a sustainable environment, bolstering economic growth, and supporting resilient livelihoods in communities globally.
On 28 February 2022, during its Plenary Meeting, the UN General Assembly, a key authority in global matters, endorsed the resolution initiated by Mongolia and backed by 60 Member States from every region across the world, officially recognizing 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.
The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists aims to promote awareness and champion the significance of robust rangelands and sustainable pastoralism. It also emphasizes the necessity of enhancing the abilities of and escalating conscientious investment in the pastoral livestock sector. The initiative encompasses sustainable land administration, improving or restoring ecosystems, fair access to markets, livestock well-being, and breeding. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will oversee the implementation of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists as the principal agency."
