We are officially launching the roadmap to the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 (#IYRP2026). These aren't just "empty spaces." As you can see in these photos, rangelands are vibrant, living systems. ✅ They cover half the world's land. ✅ They store 34% of terrestrial carbon. ✅ They support 500 million pastoralists. But perhaps the most compelling number is this: Restoration yields up to $35 for every $1 invested.
