Global action for sustainable rangelands and pastoralism to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN)

More than half of the world’s land mass is rangeland - and yet these landscapes and the people who inhabit and manage them have been largely neglected. They are a main source of food and feed for humanity, and yet they are also the world economy’s dumping ground. It is time to shift perspective - from ‘a rangeland problem’ to ‘a sustainable rangeland solution’. It is time to commit globally to halt indiscriminate rangeland conversion, to pass judicious policies and laws that support and enhance rangelands and pastoralism, and to upgrade LDN as a global consensus and tool with stronger targets and funding for rangelands.
