Dear all,

This will surely interest also others in the IYRP Global Coordinating Group - and perhaps inspire similar types of event.

Cheers,
Ann

> Dear colleagues,
> 
> The association Terra Maronesa hosted the launch of IYRP 2026 in Portugal on March 28th. The event was filled with activities in the Serra do Alvão and benefited from national media coverage.
> 
> In the morning, participants had the opportunity to witness a demonstration of flock management with Bravia goats, a local indigenous breed, and to engage in dialogue with partners about a common agenda of work towards 2026.
> 
> In the afternoon, the LIFE Maronesa project was presented with Maronesa cattle breeders, local indigenous breed that gave the association its name, and participants discovered the House of Livestock Farming, a new interpretive centre for pastoralism.
> 
> This was the first initiative in Portugal related to IYRP 2026 aimed at mobilizing pastoral communities and raising awareness among society about the importance of pastoralism.
> 
> The event was co-organized by WWF Portugal, ANCABRA-National Association of Bravia Goat Breeders, RHE Initiative, the Union of Parishes of Pensalvos and Parada de Monteiros, the Local Community-Baldios de Cabanes, the House of Livestock Farming, BPI, and La Caixa Foundation.
