In Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and possibly other former soviet republics of Central Asia, the term rangeland is hardly ever used. Instead, they refer to "pastures" on a regular, routine basis, and "pastureland" in technical or official documents.

These are words that are synonyms and metonyms used to describe these terms but that are more reflective of local culture.  To this end, the IYRP Communications Team has prepared a survey to first identify these terms in English with the expectation that there will be additional surveys to gain this same information for the other official UN languages.  Our plan is to create ‘word clouds’ that can be used for a variety of purposes by everyone.
