Dear Anders



You are indeed correct. I will edit the text to make it a bit more explicit 
that we also want GEF to support work with pastoralists and on pastoralism.



In general, I received positive responses from less than half of the GCG 
constituents and will send off the letter on Wednesday. No opposing 
responses were received.



I will still allow GCG members to add their support for this inittiave for 
the next 24 hours.



Kind regards

Igshaan

Dear Igshaan, good people,



While reference is made to IYRP in the draft letter to GEF, I do not see 
Pastoralists mentioned in this letter, but only Rangelands?



As Pastoralists we clearly also "...remain significantly underrepresented in 
global environmental agendas", to say the least.



While I of course do not principally disagree with lifting the issue of 
rangelands, why can this letter not also include the other component of the 
IYRP?



Most sincerely,

Anders






Yours sincerely,

Dear GCG members



The IYRP and some of our supporters and supporting organisations, had been 
having discussions on how work on rangelands and sustainable pastoralism 
could be funded in the future. 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.



I have signed the letter to the GEF CEO (attached), but ask whether GCG 
members would want to add their support to this letter and we will attach 
the names of the GCG members who support our call to prioritize rang;ands. 
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.



Kind regards



IYRP ISG co-chair
