International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists

The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) is a global celebration of the farmers, ranchers, herders,
shepherds, and other pastoralists who use the land to produce food and fiber and the lands they call home. Designated by the United Nations and supported by nearly 500 organizations around the world, 2026 provides an opportunity to celebrate the heritage of these vast spaces and the people who have protected them.
