Co-Chairs of IYRP Global Alliance at UNCCD COP 16 

The three co-chairs of the Global Alliance for the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists ? Igshaan Samuels (South Africa), Burmaa Dashbel (Mongolia) and Enrique Michaud (Peru) ? met face-to-face for the first time at the 16th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP16), held in December 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They and several other members of the IYRP Global Alliance are attending the numerous events during the COP that highlight rangelands and pastoralists, such as:

?       Mapping grassland and savannah hotspots: bridging knowledge gaps for nature and people

?       Women for the future: enabling women-led rangeland restoration and resilience

?       Protecting and restoring rangelands

?       Restoring the forgotten landscapes: funding grasslands, savannahs and rangelands

?       Principles and good practices in sustainable rangeland management for land restoration

?       Valuing grasslands: critical ecosystems for nature, climate and people

?       Data dilemmas: bridging knowledge gaps for inclusive rangeland governance

?       Shared lands, shared futures: inclusive governance for rangelands and pastoralists

?       Restoration of global rangelands for people, nature and human wellbeing and development

?       Mobility matters: in the footsteps of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers walking around the world

?       Restoring balance: livestock management for ecosystem resilience & Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN)

?       Scaling up sustainable land management for LDN in South Africa's grazing lands

?       Breaking barriers: finance, science and partnerships for rangeland restoration

?       Accelerating actions for healthy land in East Africa: pathways to pastoralist prosperity, resilience and food security

?       Sustainable investments for large-scale rangeland restoration.

One side event is focused on the IYRP: Road to the IYRP2026 <https://www.iyrp.info/sites/iyrp.org/files/IYRP%20at%20UNCCD%20COP16_0.pdf>.

During the COP, the IYRP Global Alliance is sharing some publications of its Working Groups:

Subject: [IYRP General List] December 2024 newsletter of the IYRP Global
 Alliance
Message-ID: <1F0E5D26-00DF-4869-8CA9-CD9A13C8FD74@web.de>

Dear all,

Here is the December 2024 newsletter of the Global Alliance for the IYRP, with quite a bit about its activities and the messages it is conveying during the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification Conference of Parties #16 (UNCCD COP16), which is currently underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The newsletter also brings updates from the IYRP thematic Working Groups and from some of the Regional IYRP Support Groups (RISGs). More detailed updates from the RISGs will soon be posted on the respective regional webpages, which you can enter from the front page of the IYRP website (www.iyrp.info <http://www.inyrp.info/>) by clicking on the photos of the regions.

One thing that I just now realised that Igshaan and I forgot to include in this update is the launching of the third edition of the Perspectives on Pastoralism Film Festival in September 2024 in Vienna, Austria. This was focused on camelid husbandry to celebrate the International Year of Camelids 2024.You can read and see more about it here: https://www.pastoralistfilmfestival.com/2024/11/07/launch-of-the-third-edition/ <https://www.pastoralistfilmfestival.com/2024/11/07/launch-of-the-third-edition/>

You may also notice on the website that we have included a new feature at the top of the front page: a sliding list of major achievements of the IYRP Global Alliance and planned events in 2025 and 2026. This is still work in progress - many more items will be added in the new couple of weeks, so keep an eye on it.

Cheers,
Ann

Dear all,

In support of the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP) in 2026, the Coalition of European Lobbies for Eastern African Pastoralism (CELEP www.celep.info <http://www.celep.info/>) is collaborating with the Global Alliance for the IYRP (www.iyrp.info <http://www.iyrp.info/>) in collecting and curating films on pastoralism around the world. Films shown in the Perspectives on Pastoralism Film Festivals (in Germany in 2019, in Czechia in 2022 and in Austria in 2024) can be found on the film-festival website (https://www.pastoralistfilmfestival.com <https://www.pastoralistfilmfestival.com/>).

A special theme in the call for the 3rd edition of films was ?Camelid pastoralism?, intended primarily as part of the build-up to the IYRP2026 but also for the International Year of Camelids (IYC2024). Some members of the IYRP Alliance joined the CELEP film-festival team to assess the entries and selected the top 17 films for showing at events highlighting camelids for the IYC in 2024/25 and the IYRP2026. A one-pager with information about the films on camelid pastoralism is attached; it includes the link to the list of selected films posted on the IYRP website.

Another special theme was ?Pastoralist women and girls?. Members of the IYRP Working Group on Pastoralism & Gender assessed the films submitted for this theme and selected their top 32.  A one-pager with information about the films on pastoralist women & girls is also attached; it includes the link to the list of selected films posted on the IYRP website.

If any of you are interested in organising screenings of films on pastoralism ? either for a whole day or evening session or one or two films as part of a side event, webinar, seminar or the like, you can contact us (organisers of CELEP's Perspectives on Pastoralism Film Festival) for recommendations of and links to relevant films. In addition to the above-mentioned themes, we have many more films on other themes, e.g on pastoralism and biodiversity conservation. Sharing these films can help to show people worldwide how pastoralist communities contribute to culture, economy and environment.

Let me take this opportunity also to wish you all the best in the New Year 2025 (at least according to the Gregorian calendar) ? the final year of preparations for the IYRP2026.

Cheers,

Ann
