Given the great work for the environment that GEF projects have been doing for some time, there is still scope for the projects to increase their focus on rangelands. With the new GEF9 scheme in the pipeline, we thought that we should write to the GEF CEO to initiave a process where we can engage them on prioritizing rangelands as well.

We just need an email from you on whether you support this, and we will add your name, institution and country to the list. No need for everyone to sign the document.
