<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">As part of our engagement, we are submitting an official side-event proposal to the COP15 Secretariat</span><span lang="EN-US"> on grasslands<span style="color:black">. We are reaching out to you</span>,
as Vice Chair of the IYRP, <span style="color:black">to solicit your interest in partnering with us in the proposal application.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">Our proposal explores the importance of grassland ecosystems and its conservation via grazing livestock. We would invite you to review draft details attached. We are spearheading this initiative as
the grasslands ecosystem is a critically important landscape for Canada’s cattle ranchers and farmers. But there are a whole host of reasons, related to livestock, livelihood and habitat preservation, for why COP15 needs to include a discussion on grasslands.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If we are successful in our application, we will reach out to outline the full scope of the partnering opportunity. If successful, involvement in the side-event can mean many things: logo placement; financial or
in-kind contributions; speaking opportunities, logo placement </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">etc. The first step is submitting an application.
